DAMN I WISH I WROTE THAT - Part Two - Books

DAMN I WISH I WROTE THAT

Part Two - Books

In part one of - DAMN I WISH I WROTE THAT - I listed some of what in my opinion are the best TV shows or films that I've ever seen.

First I have to thank DJ - Jim Mitchell from Q107 for the idea for this blog post. Kim regularly has a spot on his radio show where he will play a song that he wishes he had written; therefore this blog is dedicated to things I wish I had written.  These are all pieces of writing that are just damn exquisite, eloquent and intriguing. As musicians are inspired by other musicians, these are the books that inspire me.
