Commando: The Autobiography of Johnny Ramone
This autobiography focuses more on the late Johnny Ramone's interests (baseball, horror movies, Elvis, etc.) and the history of the Ramones than inter-band rivalries. The numerous photographs and well-bound cover make it a book to display on your coffee table rather than within the innards of your e-reader. Johnny Ramone's All-Time Top Ten lists give insight into his personality and world view (Top Punk Groups, Favorite Republicans, Best Film Reference Books . . .) Overall a must for any Ramones fanatic and a new slant on the existing Ramones cannon as typified by Dee Dee Ramone's literary efforts as well as the memoir I Slept with Joey Ramone by Mickey Leigh.

I just read this book, and I liked it. Even in his own words Johnny Ramone appears to be quite an asshole, but I still can't help but like him somehow. Also, it's interesting to hear the Ramones story in Johnny's words.
