M by John Cage

I read this book many years ago and do not know if it is even still in print. I saw that no-one had reviewed it and felt duty bound to add my little bit in the hope it might persuade someone else to go to the trouble of seeking out this book. It is one of THOSE books, a true giant of a thing - not just for the ideas and insights it contains but for the wonderful way that it is written. Cage's music was years ahead of its time (still is probably), the book is the same. Brilliant, challenging, rambling, inspirational and utterly engrossing; it's the nearest any of us will ever get to being inside the mind of a genius. I can not recommend this book highly enough, but it is especially good if you are feeling like doing something new in your life and haven't quite got the nerve. This guy had guts!
