2023's Best Books

I meant to do this a few days ago so there was more time before the holidays, but here's a quick list of the best books that I read that were released in 2023. Obviously, I didn't read every book that came out this year, and I'm only listing the best books I read that were actually released in the 2023 calendar year.

In my opinion, the two very best books released in 2023 were An Ordinary Man: The Surprising Life and Historic Presidency of Gerald R. Ford by Richard Norton Smith (BOOK | KINDLE | AUDIO), and True West: Sam Shepard's Life, Work, and Times by Robert Greenfield (BOOK | KINDLE | AUDIO).

"At this point in the tour, the individual members of the S. T. P. caravan are still getting to know each other and discovering how the tour works. In order to kill two birds with one stone and get into some basic journalism, I quiz Stan Moore about the large black guards who are on constant duty at the entrance to the Stones’ hotel building.

“Stan, how come those black dudes at the door never smile?”

“Well, Bob, that’s ‘cause they serious fellows.”

“Why are they there?”

“To stop people from entering . . . you know, unauthorized people.”

“Like what kind of unauthorized people?”

“Well, mostly it’s been chickies.”

“Uh . . . dangerous chickies?”

“I’ll tell you, Bob, like the other day, this little chick comes round askin for Mickey. You know, Mick Taylor? So I call up to his room and say, ‘Mick, there’s some girl down here to talk to you.'  And he say, ‘I don’t know any girls in San Francisco.’ ‘Dig it' I say to him, ‘You ain’t got to know her. Like she just here to push some leg on you.’”

“To do what?”

“You know … the thang. To do the thang.”

“Oh yeah. What happened?”

“Well, he came down all right, but nothin go down.”

“Why not?”

“Aw, man. Like he too shy or somethin. Can you dig that?”

Showing some real emotion for the first time all night long, Mick says, "No. Don't wanna [go on]. Oh fucking why? They sold all the tickets here in three hours and then they just sat there."

To make him feel better, Stu says, "This was the most depressing part of the tour last time as well."

Walking over to the table, Charlie does a little soft-shoe routine that makes Mick smile and says, “Let's go out there and tread the boards then, Mick."

"Yeah," Mick says. “A tap dance. Oh, it's all right. But why do they just have to sit there? Let's go then.”

(From ‘Ain't It Time We Said Goodbye’ by Robert Greenfield)

#can we just acknowledge that Charlie is the most precious person in this entire band? #mick spends the whole three pages before this bitching and moaning and saying he won’t go on stage because the crowd has no enthusiasm #no one else in the band or his entourage can get him to even promise he’ll sing #and then Charlie comes over and does a little dance routine and instantly gets him to cheer up and say he’ll do the show #he was the best band dad in the entire world #the rolling stones #charlie watts #mick jagger #young married band #robert greenfield #quote #1971 #ian stewart

Prom Night (1980)

In today's review, I find drama and murder clash with the most important night of a seniors life. As I attempt a #positive review of the 1980 slasher Prom Night #LeslieNielsen #JamieLeeCurtis #DebbieGreenfield #CaseyStevens #BrockSimpson #EddieBenton

Childhood can be challenging on its own, yet if you can survive the perils of youthful naïvety, you get a dose of the drama and danger that is present in your adult years. These scars, and traumas can stick with of, moulding us into the people that we are today, if we make it out that is. In 1980, as the slashers started to pick up steam, a high school in Canada dealt with a buried secret, and a…

I ask this every month or two but what have you been reading lately?

•True West: Sam Shepard's Life, Work, and Times (BOOK | AUDIO | KINDLE) by Robert Greenfield

•The Oswalds: An Untold Account of Marina and Lee (BOOK | AUDIO | KINDLE) by Paul R. Gregory

•Wahhabism: The History of a Militant Islamic Movement (BOOK | KINDLE) by Cole M. Bunzel

•The Madman in the White House: Sigmund Freud, Ambassador Bullitt, and the Lost Psychobiography of Woodrow Wilson (BOOK | KINDLE) by Patrick Weil This is a really interesting new book about one of the more unique Presidential biographies ever written. William C. Bullitt was a longtime American diplomat and former supporter of Woodrow Wilson who blamed the failure of American ratification of the Treaty of Versailles following World War I on the worrisome personality changes he witnessed in President Wilson after Wilson suffered a stroke and serious health issues in the final years of his Presidency. Bullitt was close to Sigmund Freud and he teamed with Freud to write a psychological biography about Wilson several years after Wilson's death. The book they wrote (Thomas Woodrow Wilson: A Psychological Study) was very controversial and wasn't even published until nearly 30 years after Freud himself died. It's a really fascinating story and Weil's book -- as well as the original book by Bullitt and Freud -- reveal the potential dangers behind Presidential disability.

•The World: A Family History of Humanity (BOOK | AUDIO | KINDLE) by Simon Sebag Montefiore

•Knowing What We Know: The Transmission of Knowledge from Ancient Wisdom to Modern Magic (BOOK | AUDIO | KINDLE) by Simon Winchester I try to read every book that Simon Winchester writes. It seems like he's written books about basically every subject under the sun, and I can't think of a single one that I didn't find interesting.

•The Sergeant: The Incredible Life of Nicholas Said: Son of an African General, Slave of the Ottomans, Free Man Under the Tsars, Hero of the Union Army (BOOK | KINDLE) by Dean Calbreath The subtitle of this book alone makes it pretty clear that this is one hell of a story about a man who lived quite a life.

"At Nellcote while they’re recording Exile and Mick Taylor and Keith are starting to butt heads. Mick Taylor gets songwriting credits for “Ventilator Blues” but not for anything else. I mean, “Can’t You Hear Me Knocking” is all Mick Taylor, sounding very much like Santana, playing fabulously. Then on the American tour, it’s all so crazy, everybody is trying to survive, but it really is when they are recording Exile, and so much of the work was done in LA after they leave Nellcote, that Mick Taylor starts to lose his desire to be a member of the Rolling Stones, which I guess now is really hard for anybody to understand."

“During the first show, the tempo on stage got a little tangled with Charlie hanging back a beat or two and Keith began shouting, ‘Faster, Charlie, faster. Fuck you. COME ON,’ stamping in time to show him what he meant. It’s something that’s happened before, and the two of them [always] go off stage with their arms around each other.”-Robert Greenfield, 1974

#I don’t think post-1989 keith had it in him to yell at Charlie #but it’s a testament to the strength of their relationship #that they could have those moments where things did go right #and still always want to be with each other in the end #the rolling stones #charlie watts #keith richards #robert greenfield #not to mention that they were still walking each other off stage 50 years later
