Story
Few bands are as shrouded in the murky haze of rock mythology as The Doors, and parsing fact from fiction has been a virtually impossible task. But now, after 50 years, The Doors’ notoriously quiet guitarist is finally breaking his silence to set the record straight. Set the Night on Fire is packed with never-before-told stories from The Doors’ most vital years, and offers a fresh perspective on the most infamous moments of the band’s career.

In less than a year, Neil Peart lost both his 19-year-old daughter, Selena, and his wife, Jackie. Faced with overwhelming sadness and isolated from the world in his home on the lake, Peart was left without direction. That lack of direction lead him on a 55,000 mile journey by motorcycle across much of North America, down through Mexico to Belize, and back again.

Story
Most of us have heard of gluten - a protein found in wheat that causes widespread inflammation in the body. Americans spend billions of dollars on gluten-free diets in an effort to protect their health. But what if we’ve been missing the root of the problem? In The Plant Paradox, renowned cardiologist Dr. Steven Gundry reveals that gluten is just one variety of a common, and highly toxic, plant-based protein called lectin.

Not only the most comprehensive book of Morrison’s work ever published, it is immersive, giving readers insight to the creative process of and offering access to the musings and observations of an artist whom the poet Michael McClure called “one of the finest, clearest spirits of our times.”

everything in one place
the great thing about this collection is that it gathers all his writings in one place. the one thing that takes away from this collection is that some of the readings do an injustice to the writings of Jim Morrison. the recording that he did of his own writing really convey the feeling and meaning of his words. but that is not a big fault because it is like that with any interpretation of poetry that is not your own. definitely recommend this to any fan of Jim Morrison and his writing.

Painful
The narration was very challenging to hear. Couldn’t finish the book. Awful experience about an amazing talented artist. Too bad.

What we probably expected
Morrison undoubtedly had a driven mind and soul on fire with an outsize imagination which lived in a world of monsters, salesmen, dancing women and song. This collection is an atlas of his mind’s travels. There are love songs, poems and sea shanteys to accompany his travels real and imagined.
I can’t say that his poetry touched me as much as the dark power of The Doors’ music did, but there is much in it to assure me that they both arose from the same mind of a wild visionary. Four Stars ****.

A remarkable talent
'Did you have a good world when you died? enough to base a movie on?' and 'The hitchhiker stood by the side of the road.'
So many amazing quotes in this collection. Some truly beautiful moments in this book. Having recordings of Jim reciting his own material really added to it, especially when he would throw in little melodies with them. Also of note was Patti Smythe's narration. As a poet herself, she really nailed it.
Thank you for putting this together Tom et al.

Get the hardcover
Sometimes it’s better to have the paper version. The Audible reading I think is just something to have in addition. The hardcover book version has photos, Jim’s handwriting and doodles. The poems are aesthetically arranged on the page. I’m going to treasure it.
