Ready to go on a blind date with a book?
Musician Warren Ellis shares his most formative reading inspiration.
Musician Warren Ellis’s recent book “Nina Simone’s Gum” is part memoir, part the story of how he came to possess a piece of gum chewed by the later singer Simone for two decades, and how the gum affect him and others who encountered it. InQ: Do you have a favorite music memoir or music book that you’re read?
A: My father always read to me as a kid. My father read poems to us as kids, he read nursery rhymes, he read stories. If I ever couldn’t find my dad, he’d be just sitting on the floor somewhere reading a book or looking at an article in something. You know, he showed me a magic trick when I was a kid, which was to pick up a book of poetry and just start playing the guitar and start singing a song using the words that were there on the page. I just thought that was the wildest thing I’d ever seen.
