Editing Neil Peart (section)

===Nonfiction===
Peart authored seven non-fiction books during his lifetime, the last of which was released in 2016.

Peart's first book, titled ''[[The Masked Rider: Cycling in West Africa]]'',<ref name="Peart" /> was written in 1996 about a month-long bicycling tour through [[Cameroon]] in November 1988. The book details Peart's travels through towns and villages with four fellow riders. The original had a limited print run, but after the critical and commercial success of Peart's second book, ''Masked Rider'' was re-issued by ECW Press and remains in print.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://ecwpress.com/products/masked-rider|title=The Masked Rider: Cycling in West Africa|website=ECW Press|access-date=January 11, 2020}}</ref><ref>{{Cite book|title=Roadshow: Landscape with Drums – A Concert Tour by Motorcycle|last=Peart|first=Neil|date=2006|publisher=Rounder|isbn=1-57940-142-2|edition=1st|location=Cambridge, MA|oclc=71643376}}</ref>

After losing his wife and (at the time) only daughter, Peart embarked on a lengthy motorcycle road trip spanning North America. His experiences were penned in ''[[Ghost Rider: Travels on the Healing Road]]''.<ref name=Peart-GhostRider /> Peart and the rest of the band were always able to keep his private life at a distance from his public image in Rush. However, ''Ghost Rider'' is a first-person narrative of Peart on the road on a [[BMW R1100GS]] motorcycle, in an effort to put his life back together as he embarked on an extensive journey.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://exclaim.ca/music/article/map_of_heart-neil_peart_finds_rhythm_of|title=Map of the Heart Neil Peart Finds the Rhythm of the Road|website=Exclaim.ca|language=en-ca|access-date=January 11, 2020|archive-date=January 11, 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200111123029/http://exclaim.ca/music/article/map_of_heart-neil_peart_finds_rhythm_of|url-status=live}}</ref>

Years later, after his marriage to Nuttall, Peart took another road trip, this time by car. In his third book, ''[[Travelling Music: Playing Back the Soundtrack to My Life and Times]]'',<ref>{{cite book|title=Traveling Music: The Soundtrack to My Life and Times|last=Peart|first=Neil|year=2004|publisher=[[ECW Press]]|isbn=1-55022-664-9}}</ref> he reflects on his life, his career, his family, and music. As with his previous two books, it is a first-person narrative.

Three decades after Peart joined Rush, the band found itself on its [[R30: 30th Anniversary Tour|30th anniversary tour]]. Released in September 2006, ''Roadshow: Landscape with Drums – A Concert Tour by Motorcycle'' details the tour both from behind Peart's drum kit and on his [[BMW R1150GS]] and [[BMW R1200GS|R1200GS]] motorcycles.<ref>{{cite magazine|title=Rush Drummer Peart Chronicles Life on the 'Road'|url=https://www.billboard.com/articles/news/57239/rush-drummer-peart-chronicles-life-on-the-road|magazine=Billboard|access-date=January 11, 2020|archive-date=January 11, 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200111160537/https://www.billboard.com/articles/news/57239/rush-drummer-peart-chronicles-life-on-the-road|url-status=live}}</ref>
