"As a lifelong Bruce Springsteen fan, I've spent countless hours listening to him tell stories of the most unforgettable characters in rock and roll," said Chris Lynch, President & Publisher, Simon & Schuster Audio. "To now hear Bruce tell his own intimate story with the same charisma and force that he brings to his performances is simply magic."

Published in both print and e-book editions on September 27, 2016, BORN TO RUNreceived glowing reviews from both music and literary critics, including Nation Public Radio's Will Hermes, who called the book "a virtuoso performance," and Pulitzer Prize-winning novelist Richard Ford, who praised Springsteen in the New York Times Book Review for his "informally steadfast Jersey plainspeak …cleareyed enough to say what it means when it has hard stories to tell, yet supple enough to rise to occasions requiring eloquence."

One more addition for the collection.  Although this one may just make it into the car stereo for a listen.

Although I read as many as 50-100 books a year, I don't often buy audiobooks. But the moment I confirmed Bruce was narrating the memoir I found so surprisingly well-written and engaging I pre-ordered it. If anyone else had done the audio, I never would have bought it. Hopefully Bruce does a good a job reading the book to us as he did writing it for us. Looking forward to it!
