This book was meandering in the most beautiful way possible. It made me smile and want to hang out with Patti Smith, but not want to mess with her love of solitude. It made me start writing again, because Patti's words can inspire that kind of behavior. It's not much like Just Kids, which is one of my favorite books, but her poetic voice is still there, she's just not telling a straight story about a portion of her life. She's so earnest and caring about her own creative inspirations, and I love that since I consider her one of mine.

Also, she really loved The Killing.
