What are some essential books that an artist and/or musician should read? Even if it's beginner stuff.
karl marx
every book the established contrarian canon
le greeks
smashing the patriarchy and assorted works
the bible
Biographies are fun.
Doubt it will be of any real use though.
Maybe it will help you see how different bands started off and give you ideas of how you can start off?
I don't really know.

I mean something more technical. Maybe something on aesthetics and ethics
OK, let me clarify. I want literature relating to applied aesthetics. e.g beauty, harmony and organization

the western canon
start with the greeks

The Theatre and its Double by Artaud is well worth a read.
I can tell from your question and the picture that you posted that you're a humongous fagdroid
