This book isn't all about music, it's a mixture of funny autobiographical stories and essays about music theory, politics, and other stuff.

But jeesh, when you read the section about music, you get a real sense of what a monster composer he was. It really changed my whole perspective on art and music in general.

Highly recommended, I usually hate autobiographies but this one is hilarious and extremely informative. He was a genius.
