Far and away, my favorite is Alex Ross's *The Rest is Noise*; a 20th century classical music primer for dunderheads like me who know next to nothing about classical, but are curious...

I don't read many music books either. The last one I read was Lit Riffs by Jonathan Lethem. Even that is a stretch, but it was a good book for the plane.

My favorite music book of all time was actually the 33 1/3 book about In the Aeroplane over the Sea by Kim Cooper. It is so easy to mythologize Jeff Mangum and his music. The book does a great job of portraying him as just a simple guy who wrote some songs while at the same time allowing you to keep the myth alive. Reading the book gave me the same sensation as listening to the album, which is one of wonder, hope and awe. The story of how Oh, Comely was recorded captures why it is that so many people find Mangum's music, and perhaps music in general, to be so amazing.

No contest, LIPSTICK TRACES by Greil Marcus is my all-time favorite music book. That said, I love the latest novel from Chuck Klosterman but have not yet read any of his nonfiction, so I need to do that.
