I went through a period of reading musician's autobiographies and my favourites were:

Scar Tissue - Anthony Kiedis
Slash - Slash
Eric Clapton - Eric Clapton
Nile Rodgers book mentioned above is also excellent!

If you like sport Can I Carry Your Bags by Martin Johnson (the short arse writer, not the tall second row) is utterly side splitting.

Grunfeld

preferably something light.
Also, musician biographies are something I quite enjoy.

How about a magician part-biography?  ("Part" because it's mostly about a particular year.)
I've just finished reading:
Penn Jillette's,"Presto! How I made Over 100 Pounds Disappear"
Penn is the big guy from Penn & Teller
Or he was the big guy, while he's still tall (6'7") he's no longer a "fat fuck".  He dropped over 7 stone in weight and has kept it off.
Funny, and a very interesting insight into his mindset from denial of any problem, to dealing with it and getting it sorted.
I enjoyed it a lot.  Came across as honest and I enjoyed the detail, the stories, and the psychology.

I read a couple of Lester Bangs's compiled review books on holiday. A bit dark in places but stellar writing - cough mixture and other stimulants may have been consumed. 

Thr @Dave_Vader title "Weekend Rockstars" is the very definition of what you're looking for. RomCom set in the low rent but great world of the local covers scene. Very readable and a lot of "That exact same thing happened to me". You'll never take playing SOF for granted again.

Two of my favourite books:

Motley Crue - the dirt a must read even if you don't like the band! Incredible debauched lifestyle

Richard Feynman - Surely you're joking mr Feynman a book from the world's most fascinating physicist about his life experiences. The world lost a great man when he died.
