cover-robsheffieldRob Sheffield, the Rolling Stone music critic who got his start here in Charlottesville and whose first book, Love is a Mix Tape, detailed his love affair with his late wife and was the subject of a Hook cover story, has written a second music-inspired memoir. Talking to Girls About Duran Duran: One Young Man’s Quest for True Love and a Cooler Haircut is an ode to the ’80s— and the ladies— that was named one of Amazon.com’s Best Books of the Month in July 2010 and has received both glowing and semi-glowing reviews.

    I prefer to read books that are actually about something, and where you can learn something about the world. But that’s just me.

* People say the darndest things, but language stronger than "darn," insulting words like "stupid," ethnically or racially disparaging language, and comparing people to Hitler usually results in deletion of the comment and may get you blocked from further commenting. Ditto for posting unverified and/or potentially libelous allegations, and even off-topic digression. And to avoid spam, any comment containing more than two weblinks gets eaten by Bigfoot.
