Sting likes FRANK: THE VOICE

“Words are important to [Sting]; as important, he says, as music: ‘I read a lot. I’m always reading. I couldn’t live without books.’ He has just finished Hilary Mantel’s Wolf Hall and David Mitchell’s The Thousand Autumns of Jacob de Zoet and is now engrossed in James Kaplan’s new biography of Frank Sinatra: ‘It’s beautifully written. I’m currently falling in love with Ava Gardner.'” — from “The Singing Police Man,” The New Zealand Listener, Jan. 22, 2011
