We support everyone participating in the national shutdown today - if you can't take today off, there's other things you can do! Check out www.standwithminnesota.com and ICEout.org and if your local bookstore is closed today - go and buy a book tomorrow! #booksky #iceout

🔔 Ye olde new episode alert! 🔔 This time we read Wolf Hall by Hilary Mantel which manages to tell the story of uber-competent arch-fixer Thomas Cromwell without a single mention of turkey legs. Plus, our 2026 book list has been choosened! #bowie #booksky #bookfeast

This is good to read again (on Bowie's birthday or any day, really)

Not the best representation, but happy birthday to our David anyways! #davidbowie #bowie #booksky

This month we read The Left Hand of Darkness by Ursula K. LeGuin, a story of hot beer and cold nights (and many, many other more important themes and ideas!) Plus we talk about our fave books of 2025 (not-so-spoiler - one of them is this one!)

Guess which author's house this is (hint: we're reading one of her classic books this month for the pod!) #bowie #booksky #scifi

Heya! This time we read Medium is the Massage by Marchall McLuhan, a stew of images, aphorisms and (maybe unfounded?) optimism that will loosen up those tired media muscles. Join us in our not-so-global village as we discuss! #bowie #books #booksky

This month we read Diary of a Drug Fiend by Aleister Crowley, which (much to our surprise) is not Chronicles of Narnia fan-fic despite the appearance of a Big Lion who solves everything at the end. Also features drugs that are fiended after throughout, heartily! #bowie #booksky

there's a Carlos Alomar line about Bowie in this era, that "he is what he reads, & at the time he was reading so much bullshit": this book is almost certainly one of the ones A. was talking about---you can imagine DB rambling about it for hours while making "Station to Station"

This month we read (or maybe just encountered on the Astral Plane?) The Spear of Destiny, Trevor Ravenscroft’s minimally factual tale of the occult and its hallucinatory hold on Adolf Hilter. Please, please read along, so at least we're all having the same weird dream! #booksky #bowie

& yes, we're as far away from it now as it was from Fred Astaire's "Cheek to Cheek"

This may give you an indication of our feelings about this month's (very very weirdo) book - The Spear of Destiny by Trevvy Ravenscroft. Tune in next week for (maybe) some insight on why we do this to ourselves! #bowie #booksky #badchoices

Cripes, he had a lot of stuff! We're here for it all (especially the books) though. #bowie #books

[gm] Seeing anything related to this video means about 20 hours of me hearing "SOUTH AMERICAAAA!" over and over again in my head.

50 years ago: Bowie completes the filming of "The Man Who Fell to Earth," with the last scene shot at Butterfields restaurant, on the Sunset Strip in Los Angeles. An image from the scene later appears in The Defenders, No. 52 (Oct 1977, Kraft/Giffen/Stone)

This month we read Backstage Passes by Angie Bowie, a tell-all that includes flying saucers, devil-haunted pools, and John Bonham's breakfast. Oh, and David Bowie too. Give it a listen and tell us all!

Getting ourselves ready for recording our next episode on Angie Bowie's dishy "Backstage Passes" - the royalty of 70's rock catch lots of strays (and other things) in her telling! #bowie #booksky

In this month’s episode, we dive into the works of the master of creepy fingers, Egon Schiele! And, of course, there’s wild speculations abounding. GIve it a listen and throw some crazy hand shapes! #bowie #booksky #expressionism #creepyfingers www.bowiebookclub.com/episodes/202...

Just finished recording our episode about Egon Schiele, an artist who loved a portrait of someone doing weird stuff with their hands (which DB was a master of, of course!) Will be in your feeds and ears tomorrow! #bowie #booktok #expressionism #vienna #weird-fingers

we definitely didn’t have to work as hard, but wow this was one that was worth it!

New episode out now! We're discussing the Man Who Sold the...em...The Man Who Fell to Earth, which was a book by Walter Tevis before it was a movie starring a very alienated David Bowie! Give it a listen & let us know what you think! #bowie #booksky www.bowiebookclub.com/episodes/202...

Yikes! John Maggiore of the awesome “Maggiore on Bowie” blog was nice/crazy enough to talk books with us for a bit. Really fun to chat with him - hope you enjoy it too! #bowie #booksky maggioreonbowie.com/the-bowie-bo...

What it's like hanging out with me

recording our next episode on The Man Who Fell To Earth by Walter Tevis this weekend! There will likely be mentions of red peppers and milk, as usual. #bowie #booksky

muppetized rolling stone covers: thread

This month on the #BowieBookClub we’re reading that Sci-Fi classic, “The Man Who Fell to Earth” by Walter Tevis - who maybe looks like the graffiti in the photo? we can’t say for sure. #starman #booksky #bowie

This month on #BowieBookClub we read The Gift by that ol’ polymath and pugilist Vladimir Nabokov. This one made the list because of @bowiesongs.bsky.social ’s “Pushing Ahead of the Dame” blog, which you know we reference CONSTANTLY! www.bowiebookclub.com/episodes/202...

Just about ready to record the next episode, all about Vladdy N's "The Gift" - a meta-level trip through a recent emigre's cogitations. As an amuse bouche, here's a straight-ahead rock song of the same name from Boston (not Berlin) legends Bullet La Volta. youtu.be/tIXvMOPrkpk?...

Just about outdoor reading season here - time to sit around the fire pit with this month’s pick - “The Gift” by old Vlady Nab (I’m sure that’s what his friends called him) #books #booksky #bowie #reading

New episode up where we read “Nova Express” by William S. Burroughs - and Kristianne does a more-than-passable imitation of the old occultist! Check it out and let us know what you think (bonus points for using the cut-up method in your response.) www.bowiebookclub.com/episodes/202...

next book up is Nova Express by William Burroughs, and the cut-up technique is really starting to grow on my insect smell of the green car wreck! Anyways, here’s a snippet of when Bowie met Burroughs, including a funny pic of them both. www.riotmaterial.com/bowie-meets-...

Here’s a couple of the books we talked about on the latest episode of the bowiebookclub.com podcast! The featured book was Dancing in the Streets by Barbara Ehrenreich. Tell us what you’ve been reading! #booksky #books #reading #currentlyreading #bowie bookshop.org/a/105/978080...

In our latest episode, we read “Dancing in the Streets” by Barbara Ehernreich a survey of the ways we’ve collectively let our hair down over the past several centuries (and yes, we talk about one of the very, very low points of Bowie’s discography too). www.bowiebookclub.com/episodes/202...

Hello from Greg and Kristianne! We started reading through David Bowie’s list of 100 books in 2016, and now we’re on to books that he might’ve (or should’ve) read! We put out a podcast of wild literary speculation every month at bowiebookclub.com - come join us! #booktok #davidbowie #books
