Nina Simone's Gum by Warren Ellis
4.0
Readable, engaging but very strange book of author who kept some gum that Nina Simone had chewed and turned it into a relic.
To be honest when I picked it up I thought it was a novel and realised quickly it was non-fiction.
It does raise a lot of questions, the books doesn't answer on fame, on "idols" on what is valuable and precious and on relics - another book could easily be written commentating on this one. Interesting and a very easy read, and for good or bad it did leave you with nagging questions.
