Welcome to Litsy!

"You probably know me as Geddy Lee, but my birth name was Gershon Eliezer Weinrib, after my maternal grandfather, who was murdered in the Holocaust."

This one should be interesting.

I love bike riding, and I like Rush, but I didn‘t know much about the band members. I mostly liked this book. We covered poverty in Africa in school, and I was surprised how available food was to some of them. I didn‘t realize that there were families where the women did both the providing and the care taking, and was sad. Peart has a sense of humor and emotional intelligence, for the most part. I might read another of his books in the long term.

I didn‘t really enjoy this book. I actually almost quit reading it and the only reason I didn‘t was because I hate not finishing a book. It got interesting for me very late into the book (around page 150). After finishing the book I didn‘t feel like I gained anything but questions about the setting. Rating it So-So because I may not have liked it because of the genre or possibly even the writing style.

DRIVEN is the final installment in this trilogy of RUSH across the decades. Though I have yet to read the other two books that came before this one I really enjoyed DRIVEN. Popove does an comprehensive job detailing the bands later years.
RUSH is one of my favorite Canadian bands!
A great read for RUSH fans or anyone looking to learn more about this awesome hardworking Canadian band. DRIVEN will be available in April. #bookreview

I read an entry or two in this book every few days over the course of a couple months. I absolutely loved these letters that clearly came from the heart and show someone who lived with everything he had. These letters leave a lasting legacy and have some lessons on life for all of us. And all this on top of being an incredible drummer.

Finally reading this one, after a season of family losses in my life.

Suddenly
You were gone
From all the lives
You left you mark upon

Sad news today. Lesser known for his writing, but Ghost Rider was one of those books that came into my life exactly when I needed it and I'm forever grateful.
