I don't know shit about R. Kelly's music (besides his song in Magic Mike XXL, I guess), and I have never been interested in him. But this book intrigued me. Like with Neverland on Michael Jackson, if half of what's in here is true, it's beyond scary.

Finished the "Outlines" trilogy by Rachel Cusk this summer. One of the most intriguing reads I have ever had so far. :)

And I am about halfway through this:

I think the Wilson biography is much better, but there are not many books about Coolidge out there. Both are interesting reading for me.
