Neil's book "Ghost Rider" is awesome. He has suffered deep personal tragedy. He is a true inspiration.

I read "Ghost Rider" about 6 months after my Wife past away, so in a small way I can relate to what he was going through. There were times when I just wanted to get on the bike and not come back, but instead I lived vicariously through the book.
I read "Masked Rider", which was also a great read.

Neil Peart's latest book, "Roadshow: Landscape with Drums, A Concert Tour by Motorcycle" (2007) is an excellent read.
This man has an unbelievable mind, and his writings along with his music proves it.
If you ever get a chance to see Rush, do it. They are incredible!

He is known as the professor in the drumming world, I have seen Rush twice now once in 1980 (ish) and again last year, a fantastic band imho.

Everything he does has a certain rhythm and this is no different. Good stuff.

Thanks for sharing Neil's website, he is a gifted writer. I've always been a huge Rush fan since the mid 70's and like discovering this side of Neil. I have Ghost Rider, but have only read half. I'll finish by the fire this winter. I started reading it this summer, but found it too depressing at times. Summer wasn't right for me with this book. His breadth of knowledge and writing is pretty ****** impressive.
