So far I’ve got the Introduction and first chapter written and I’ve started on chapter two.
I put together a table of contents for the stories I’m going to be writing about in the book in chronological order. I’m sure the chapter titles will change, but this is my working table of contents of the entire book.
Enjoy!

I’m Currently (Still) Reading…
I’m still reading The Beastie Boys Book and I’m on page 381.
It’s written by the two surviving Beastie Boys, Michael Diamond and Adam Horovitz. Adam Yauch, the third Beastie Boy is currently dead.
It’s a weird book. The chapters are only two to three pages each and written separately by Diamond or Horovitz. They really don’t get into much detailed writing and so far it’s a little too anecdotal for me. I’ve still got about 200 pages to go, but right now I would only recommend this to hardcore Beastie Boys fans.
I’ll write a final summation next week, so stay tuned for that!
