Jared Leto, actor and frontman for rock band 30 Seconds to Mars, professes to be a big reader. The musician, whose third album This Is War came out in December, often draws lyrical inspiration from books—not surprising as Leto has previously stated that This Is War is a concept album. Leto initially intended to recommend Whatever You Think, Think The Opposite, a non-fictional advice book by Paul Arden, but instead chose Jon Clinch’s 2007 novel Finn, a re-telling of the classic Huckleberry Finn story. The dark, pensive book, which focuses on the human capacity for evil, influenced Leto’s songwriting on This Is War. Here, he explains how and offers some brief thoughts on the connection between music and literature.
