I'm currently reading "BURNED - Living Through the 80s and 90s as a Rock Guitarist", an autobiographical e-Book by Bobby DeVito.

Bobby is a professional musician (Stranger Danger, Stargarden, The X-Statics,...), popular member at the Harmony-Central effects forum and one of the great pedal reviewers on YouTube.

It's a very honest book about his life as a musician in the 80's and 90's and everything that's part of it (or his youth that preceded it): sex, drugs & rock'n'roll and the resulting divorces and rehabs. So far I can say it's very well written and fast and easy to read (even if English is not your mother tongue like me ;)).

You can buy the book at Scribd (US only) and Smashwords (worldwide, lots of file formats) for only $4.99, 10% of the proceeds goes to MusiCares, an organisation that helps musicians in times of need.

Bobby DeVito is on MySpace, Twitter and Facebook. There's also a Facebook page for the book (with a lot of old pictures) and a blog.
