23) Hairstyles of the Damned by Joe Meno
Decent book, although I was expecting more. The writing style kind of annoyed me but it also made for an easy read. Hairstyles of the Damned by Joe Meno is a good book about punk rock and teen angst.

I agree that the Encyclopedia of Chicago is a treasure. My recent favorite is Hairstyles of the Damned by Joe Meno. It's narrated by a high school boy growing up on the south side during the early '90s.
