Joni Mitchell Fans - Whats The Best Biography Book? I've been soaking up her music for the past whole year, I think the next step for me now is to read a book that discusses her music/life. There're a few out there but I'm not sure which one is the best.
Any suggestions? | |

Will You Take Me As I Am: Joni Mitchell's Blue Period by Michelle Mercer. It discusses the music and the life that inspired the "Blue" period, which includes the records "Blue" through "The Hissing of Summer Lawns." Fantastic little book. "...literal people are scary, man literal people scare me out there trying to rid the world of its poetry while getting it wrong fundamentally down at the church of "look, it says right here, see!" - ani difranco | |

How funny--- I just started reading this book! So far, I'm loving it. Very well written, engaging and thoroughly placing joni's writing in a broad historical context. And everytime I see the title I can't get "California" out of my head : ) | |
