New Feature! The SPIN.com Book Club

Members of the Cardigans, the Matches, Cobra Starship, the Hush Sound, and more chat up their favorite lit picks.

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 our monthly online book club. Each month, a different artist will select a book that has impacted his/her music career and our club will read and discuss. We bring you the highlights.
