So it combines all of my passions there.

And so it's this really intricate, lovely story.

He's clearly very, very affectionate about Lou Reed and it concentrates on that mid-70s Lou Reed, the really completely out of it Lou, but ends up, without giving too much away, dovetails into the very end of Lou Reed's life when he died a couple of years ago.

So I just thought it was compelling writing.

There's a subtext story of the main characters, you know, infatuation with a girl.

It's got to be.

And so all of that, it was just lovely and so different from what I guess, you know, I was expecting given the nature of The Sopranos.

It wasn't brutal.

It wasn't about crime.

People didn't die.

You know, it was just lovely.

Which I'm excited to read.

Have you read it?

I look for writing that just floors me.

I mean, I've had a couple of instances this year where I've just started reading books and literally I've gasped, you know, and my breath has been taken away.

And I go, I'm kind of okay at this caper, but wow, these people are really, really, really, really good.

And so, you know, I'll read just about anything, but I'm looking for that moment where you go, I'm just going to read that again.

Yes.

And I also know that I'm onto something that's really affecting me if I read slowly because I read a lot and I read fast.

But if I find that I'm really taking my time with a book and I'm reading maybe four or five pages and then going off to something else and then sneaking back because I want to continue this enjoyment process, I know I'm onto something.
