In an attempt to prove that musicians aren't just products of sex, drugs and rock'n'roll, SPIN.com has gathered together an eclectic group of literary-minded musicians to participate in a monthly, online book club. One member per month will select a book that has impacted their music career for the club to read and subsequently discuss. Then we will give you the highlights.

This Month's Selection:
Einstein's Dreams by Alan Lightman
BUY FROM AMAZON

Selected by:
Drew Roulette, Dredg

Reason for Selection:
"The novel was given to me in another time. In a world in which cause and effect are erratic. I was already affected by the novel before I read it. I already knew I was captivated by it for its experimental juggles with the nature of time. In this novel, Alan Lightman creates a series of vignettes that describe some of the dreams that Einstein could have had while working on his Theory of Relativity. I knew I loved the way Alan described these dreams and how they were wise in the ways of both humanity and physics. I knew it was a short read. A playful and easy read. Even before I went down to Farmer's Author Market and purchased the paperback, I knew I was delighted by the way each dream inspired in me a thought that I have never explored. Oh, how I knew you all enjoyed it as well."
