I've mentioned these before on another thread. Neal Peart is the drummer and lyricist for Rush. Yes, I'm a little biased, but he gets good reviews. I've only read Ghost Rider so far, but plan to read the others. Here's a brief synopsis from Wikipedia:
Peart is the author of four non-fiction books, the latest released in September of 2006. His growth as an author predates the published work by several years (not including his work as Rush's primary lyricist), through private letters and short travelogues sent out to a small circle of friends and family.
The Masked Rider: Cycling In West Africa
Written in 1996 about a month-long bicycling tour through Cameroon in November of 1988. Written in the first person, the book allows the reader to follow Peart through towns and villages, with four fellow riders. This was not Peart's first cycling tour, but it proves to be one of the most difficult. The original had a limited print run, but after the critical and commercial success of Neil's second book, "Masked Rider" was re-issued (with slightly different cover art) and remains in print as of 2006.
Ghost Rider: Travels On The Healing Road
Being as popular as Rush are, the tragedies that befell Peart over a ten month span were widely reported through the media. Peart and the rest of the band were always able to keep his private life at a distance from his public image in Rush (very much by choice). "Ghost Rider" is again a first-person narrative of Peart on the road, now on motorcycle, in an effort to put his life back together as he embarked on an extensive journey across North America.
Traveling Music: The Soundtrack Of My Life And Times
Deciding to take a road trip, this time by car, Peart reflects on his life, his career, his family and the thing that ties them all together: Music. This book follows Peart still carrying emotional scars, but building a new life. As with his previous two books, "Traveling Music" is a first-person account.
Roadshow: Landscape With Drums, A Concert Tour By Motorcycle
Thirty years after Peart joined Rush, the band found itself on its 30th anniversary tour. Released in September of 2006 (see Peart's Official Website), this book chronicles that tour both from behind Neil's drumkit and on his motorcycle.
