I love reading books about reggae. One of my favorites is a book called "Catch a Fire". It is a biography on Bob Marley written by Timothy Walker. This book features interviews with Bob's family, as well as indepth commentary on the legend's entire life from birth to his untimely death in the early eighties. My second favorite book is "Wake the Town and Tell the People" by Norman Stolzoff. This book takes an indepth look at dancehall, from its origins to its now sweeping influence over todays popular music. Both books are definate reads for all reggae lovers.
