Objects in the Mirror: Thoughts on a Perfect Life from an Imperfect Person by Stephen Kellogg

If you’re a Stephen Kellogg fan, you should read this book. If you’re not a Stephen Kellogg fan, you should go listen to the Objects in the Mirror and Glassjaw Boxer albums, buy a ticket to a show, become a Stephen Kellogg fan, and then read this book.

The biggest reason I loved this is because the author is my favorite musician and I adore his music. There were little “insider” references here that fans of his music will love, but there are a fair number of wisdom nuggets that anyone can appreciate as well.

I’d never have expected to rate this any less than 5 stars knowing what I know about Stephen Kellogg and considering him my favorite musician for 15 years or so. What I should say here is for other readers. This is a collection of essays I’d recommend to anyone. There is no prerequisite of knowing SK or being a fan of his music (though hopefully you jump on board with that too after you read!) Stephen writes about life, about marriage, family and children (like many of hissing lyrics) and he captures the viewpoint of the every man, expressing humility throughout and openly writing about his moments where he was less than successful. He writes about work and friendships and leads the reader through self exploration or what we value in life.
I particularly enjoyed hearing him recite lyrics, familiar to me from songs, but resounding differently read without musical accompaniment.
An extra treat to listen to the audio version, read by the author, an obviously familiar voice for anyone familiar with his music.
