Classical critic's ten favorite books on music

Classical critic Alex Ross has made a list of his ten favorite books on music. (via Twitter). It goes from "the book that affected me more perhaps than any other: Thomas Mann's monumental, bone-chilling, strangely exalting composer-novel, 'Doctor Faustus'" to an easier read - "'Out of the Vinyl Deeps', a wide-ranging collection of the incisive, impassioned, posture-free pop-music criticism of Ellen Willis".
