Very interesting nomination Hamlet. In a way it's weird that we all mostly only know about each other through our reading interests, but I like the Velvet Underground and was actually on a Warhol mini-kick in 2014 from another source which led me to watch Chelsea Girls that featured Nico who fronted with the Velvet Underground some (and of course Warhol was also very associated with the band itself) and that got me back into listening to a bunch of their stuff that I hadn't before even though I've always liked them - Pale Blue Eyes I've always really liked; also Venus in Furs and Reed's Walk on the Wild Side, and one of my all-time favourites is Reed's Perfect Day - and so last year I heard a lot of their other more obscure stuff. I lived close by the Chelsea Hotel for a very short while but way after its heyday unfortunately. Anyway, this book is 600 pages long according to Amazon! I don't know if the book counts as literature and I don't expect it to win but I'll second it in solidarity.
