The Road to Woodstock by Michael Lang

As I'm sure everyone is aware, this August marks the 40th anniversary of Woodstock. I saw this book at work and was curious to read the story behind Woodstock, written by the man who was instrumental in organizing the festival.

I found the book extremely interesting, though Lang's writing style leaves a lot to be desired. At times the narration was dry, but I was fascinated by the history of the festival. We all know what happened at Woodstock, but I was amazed at how much planning actually did go into the event.

While, as I said, Lang's straight-forward narrative reads more like a research paper than a memoir (and can be a slow read at times) I definitely recommend this if your interested in Woodstock.
