Usually the musicians talking about their favorite books in SPIN.com's ongoing Book Club series are lyricists and songwriters -- which makes sense because if you write the words, you're probably influenced by reading words. For this installment, we asked Westin Glass, drummer (and non-songwriter) for the Thermals, to recommend a novel.

Chris Conley -- longtime frontman of emo pioneers Saves the Day and, more recently, part of Two Tongues, his collaboration with Say Anything's Max Bemis -- discovered a book last month that he says has caused him to rethink his life: Jack Kornfield's A Path with Heart.

MC Lars, a self-proclaimed "post-punk laptop rapper," may be best-known for his fast-talking rhymes about Hot Topic stores and hipster girls, but the Bay Area musician is notably literary, and therefore a fitting participant in our ongoing series of musicians talking about their favorite books.

Our ongoing series of rockers talking about literary works continues with Rachael Yamagata, who took time out before a recent NYC gig to talk about one of her favorite books, novelist Steven Pressfield's 2003 foray into self-help, The War of Art: Break Through the Blocks and Win Your Inner Creative Battles.

Our ongoing series of rockers talking about their favorite literary works continues with Sara Quin, one half of buzz band Tegan and Sara. Quin stopped by SPIN's New York offices to talk about one of her favorite novels, Richard Ford's 1996 effort, Independence Day, about a middle-aged American everyman whose life unravels over a Fourth of July weekend.

For nearly two years, we've posted discussions from our SPIN.com Book Club between lit-loving musicians -- including members of Tegan and Sara, the Matches, Circa Survive, Anberlin, the Hush Sound -- about their favorite works.
