Surrender: 40 Songs, One Story

Reading this book you'd think that a typical day for Bono looks like this:
- Wake up
- Have breakfast with the Pope in the Vatican, get commended for his philanthropy work, exchanging gifts
- Quick lunch with Mandela, exchanging wisdom and share plans of fighting for some common cause
- Fly over to the Obamas for an early dinner. Get a call from Gates & Buffet letting him know they'll send over a few tens of billions to his fund. Getting to the Obamas, where Barack drinks him under the table, have a quick nap and fly back to Ireland. Paul McCartney picks him up from the airport and shares with him some fond memories from the Beatles' early days.
- Have a night cap with Cillian Murphy in their local pub in south Dublin.
- Go to bed.

There is just too much name dropping and not enough storytelling or life lessons. It's one of those books that I wish it was much more, but it just didn't deliver.
