The Junkie and the Atheist
By TIMOTHY EGAN

Christopher Hitchens, Creativity, Keith Richards

As an Irish-American, I don’t usually trumpet the work of a nation that kept my ancestors under its boot heel for nearly 300 years. But having just finished the memoirs of two great exports of Britain, I rise to praise a pair of Brits in the season of book-buying.

I've been trying to read "Life" for a couple of weeks now and it's just not clicking. Don't know if it's the writing or something else. I'll keep poking at it, though.

I'll have to take a look at "Hitch-22".

I thought Life was pretty good. Of course, I'm a huge Stones fan. It was great to get a behind the scenes look at the band and how some of the songs came about.
