I read "Invisible Republic" years ago, but I would probably get a lot more out of it now that the box set has come out -- the Basement Tapes material was admittedly hard for me to get into in bootleg form, but the sonic cleanup on the official release is stunning. I have been pretty hopelessly addicted to it.
I have not read his book on "LARS" -- I was always intimidated by a whole book devoted to one song. I really liked Christopher Ricks's "Visions of Sin" -- the worst of it is stuffy academic bullshit, but the good chapters are illuminating.

Paul Williams does some great Dylan writing. His Performing Artist collection is great and so is this one

I think this is a successful collaboration but I'm not sure I like it. Many more listens required.

I have just recently got into Florence and the Machine. My GF is a big fan and I have never really gave them a shot. Good stuff.
