I have the KLF book. You're all making me want to read it NOW, but I already have 2 books on the go! I read Bill Drummond's 45 a while back. I am quite fond of the KLF, although not as fond as a colleague who has signed up to have some of his cremated remains baked into a brick which will be part of a future pyramid built by the KLF: klf.de

I have finished the KLF book. It didn't quite sustain the exhilarating energy and revelation of the first half all the way through - necessary repetition and tenuous theorising meant it got somewhat swampy at times, but definitely a good informative and provocative read.

Best opening few pages of a non-fiction book I've read - or at least Audibled - for a while:

I am about to head out and get the coffee book from my LBS.
I have just finished reading another Japanese gem: Everything you need is in the library. 5 short stories, interconnected.

That sounds rather similar to this month's choice. I wonder if one is a rip-off/homage to the other?
