In this colorful autobiography, David Grohl talks about his life, from growing up in Springfield, Virginia with a growing passion for rock and drumming, his struggles in school, then touring with the band Scream starting at 18 years old, his time with Nirvana, and his subsequent projects and passions both in the music world and outside of it. He shares stories of his time with the Foo Fighters and many other incredible musicians, some heart-wrenching, some inspiring, and many hilarious. His experiences as a father round out the book with heart and depth that the reader might not have expected.

Alfred A. Knopf, 2017, 387 pages, Autobiography
The veteran of four space flights and the American record holder for consecutive days spent in space, Scott Kelly has experienced things very few have. Now, he describes navigating the extreme challenges of long-term spaceflight, both existential and banal: the devastating effects on the body; the isolation from everyone he loves and the comforts of Earth; the pressures of constant close cohabitation; the catastrophic risks of depressurization or colliding with space junk, and the still more haunting threat of being unable to help should tragedy strike at home.
