An entertaining read

I just finished reading Bono: In Conversation with Michka Assayas, which is a series of interviews that Assayas conducted with Bono over the course of two years. Assayas is a French journalist who has known Bono since 1980, so the conversations come across as friends talking rather than fawning journalist interviews rock star. Assayas even questions Bono on where his commitment to Africa stems from, as Bono did not go to that country until 1998. This is a fascinating book that any U2 fan would enjoy. Bono offers insight into his family, as well as the relationships with the other members of U2 that are thoughtful and interesting, not the usual patronizing words typically found in celebrity based features. This book is a sharp contrast to the one I mentioned a short time ago. Read this one, and avoid the previous one.
