I'm reading the Hunter Davies authorized biography, The Beatles, the 1996 version. Paul said in some interview I saw on Youtube that it was the only one that was any good; most of the others get almost everything wrong. I figure, he ought to know!

Very interesting book about their releitionships and their live together, about young John and his character.
How far are you? I couldn't bring myself to read further ch 16.... I just couldn't. i'd say the best chapters in this book are ch 2-5 (I read them twice!)

I've just started reading 'Revolver- secret history of the beatles by Geoffrey Giuliano & Avalon Giuliano. I don't really like Geoffrey Giuliano's books but i'm giving this one a go.

Just finished reading Cellerful of Noise. Man, was Eppy a great businessman? I really enjoyed it (Eppy's language- using metaphors yet a the same time all proper). There were some new Beatles stories, which were quite funny. I would definately recommened this book.
Now I'm starting to read A Twist of Lennon. I want to comapre it to John

I just finished John last night. It was much better than I'd expected; I'd read all these reviews about how she'd got certain facts wrong about this or that, like Sheridan's record My Bonnie "didn't sell many copies" when it did in Germany, just not the UK. That sort of nitpicky thing didn't get in the way at all. It was a highly personal account about Cynthia's experiences with John, the other Beatle wives (particularly Yoko), and a little bit about the other Beatles. I found it moving and was glad she came out with what she thought was a more honest account than her older A Twist of Lennon, which she said she'd tamed down to try to keep the peace. K_Eyes, I'd be interested in your report.
I still can't find Cellarful of Noise over here (for a reasonable price). I'll keep looking!
Adamzero, how did you like Giuliano's Revolver? I'm afraid I'm too angry with Giuliano to pick up anything of his, and they don't stock him at the library... Hmm, wonder why? I did read the sample pages on Amazon and didn't find anything new.
I'm starting to read Monty Python's Autobiography book. I'm starting by looking up all the Beatles references. So cool that Beatles were fans of Python. Michael Palin apparently kept a diary forever, and has some great reminisces. Cheers!

I'm half way through Revolver & it's not bad. Nothing special on facts i didn't know but it has interesting interviews with other people who worked with the fabs. i'm not particully keen on Giuliano myself but just found it in the libery.
Yeah, i got Michael Palin's autobiography for christmas & i'm wading my way through it, very very funny! George did say he believed that the spirit of the Beatles carried on into Monty Python. I'm an obsessed Python freak myself along with the Beatles.

Good on you, being able to get the Giuliano book from the library. Please share any earth-shattering revelations. Heh. Cheers!

We should start a Python thread, just to trade quotes!
