I'm starting Bob Dylan in America by Sean Wilentz. Picked it up after seeing the author on The Colbert Report.
Island of the Lost sounds really good, I will have to check it out. If you liked that, I highly recommend "In the Heart of the Sea" by Nathaniel Philbrick. Excellent book. It's about the sinking of the Whaleship Essex (which inspired Moby Dick) and the survival of themen for 90 days in the Pacific.
