Bob Dylan · 2004
A speaker recommends a book written by someone else.
“That was an excerpt from the book that I'm going to talk to you about today, which is Chronicles Volume 1 and is written by Bob Dylan. In fact, he wrote it with no help at all. He wrote every single word himself.”
Why: He considers it probably the best-written autobiography he has ever read, praising its mastery of language and insights into creating oneself.
David Senra, Host on Founders#429 Bob Dylan's Autobiography
“I read Bob Dylan's autobiography, which is excellent. I did an episode on it. It's episode 259, if you ever want to listen to it.”
Why: Described as excellent and detailing Dylan's admiration for Woody Guthrie.
