Why read it?
2 authors picked My Effin' Life as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
I'm not usually one to read biographies, but Geddy Lee's My So Called Effin Life was amazing. The stories of his youth, of how his parents survived the Holocaust, and then the history of the band Rush. Simply amazing, and filled with all sorts of great, funny anecdotes. Geddy writes with a casual but intelligent and humorous style that keeps you glued to the pages.
Rock and roll memoirs can be hit or miss. This one was an absolute bullseye! Getty Lee is thoughtful, self-deprecating, witty, and introspective throughout this book. I came away with a renewed appreciation for his artistry and Rush's impact on the music that I love. His opening chapters--a vivid account of his parents' Holocaust experience--are gripping and unsettling (as they should be). If you only read one thing in this book, make it those chapters.
