Love this edit!! John looked π₯ in this NY concert!π

For myself, I would rec:
1) Fab Gear: The Beatles And Fashion (Book by Paolo Hewitt)-> My fave so far amongst all the Beatles books that I have read, art & (Beatles) fashion rocks!π¨πΆπ my rating: 10/10
2) Beatles '66: The Revolutionary Year (Book by Steve Turner)-> Basically, my fave Beatles year, so if you're into their psychedelic transition period too, this book's for you tooπππππ my rating: 9/10
3) In His Own Write (Book by John Lennon himself)-> Well, if you're a Beatles fan, you just need to read what goes on in this Beatle mind, nonsensical stuff indeedβπππ my rating: 7.5/10
4) Being John Lennon (Book by Ray Connolly)-> Awesome, non-draggy autobiography of John, has some shocking & also bittersweet eg. the last few days/ years of John b4 his death parts... β€ππΈmy rating: 9/10
5) (Okay, this one's not directly a Beatles book but she is John's wife so lets just inc her in) Yoko Ono: Collector Of Skies (Book by Nell Beram & Carolyn Boriss-Krimsky)-> Just like book #4 as above, this is an autobiography of Yoko told in a simplified way, suitable for teensπ¨πβπ my rating: 8/10
6) Grapefruit (Book by Yoko Ono herself)-> A cool compilation of Yoko's instructions that has a dreamy vibe to it imo, just like the authoress herself, no wonder John became intrigued by her & her art back in '66-'68!βππ my rating: 9/10
7) John (Solo Series)-> An easy to understand book to satisfy some of your John obsessionππmy rating: 7.5/10
8) Revolver-> Technical explanation on how the band made the albumβs songs from a music studio POV, still can satisfy the Revolver obsession in you (if you have, that is, like yours truly heeeππ)πΏmy rating: 8/10
**I can't seem to find John's other self-written book as below via online though...π
- A Spaniard In The Works
*** I probably will update further in this post because me have read other Beatles-related books although some of them are for children (well, I work in a library that's whyπβ) & maybe also including books that the Beatles found inspo material for their songs... these inc adaptations from their songs (for eg. A Little Help From My Friends, Octopus' Garden + sing-along CD, Imagine etc.), Paul's Grandude series & the Tibetan Book Of The Dead...ππ€
Till then... reading is life!ππ

Yes... i saw some ppl commented 'A Series Of Unfortunate Events'... ππ
i think itβs good for kids to read at least one horrifically dark, graphic YA series when theyβre too young to fully get it. gives them some flavor.
Ringo Starr and John Lennon while filming Help!, 16 March 1965.
Agree with the results description belowπππi will just be reflecting in the bckgrdβ¦. Still, sighβ¦ it would be kinda fun to hop on the MMT bus, escaping reality for a while thoughβ¦ ππΈππΒ @beatlesdumpsterfireβ -> Results description: You can smell bullshit from a mile away and will stay as far away as you physically can because there's nothing that frustrates you more than having your time wasted. That's where you're different from the others - while a swarm of desperate actors arrived at the film shoot, you were miles away, chilling on top of a hill and checking out the clouds. It's a bummer that somehow, by some unfortunate miracle, you were technically in the background of Paul's "Fool on the Hill" scene. As much as you want to deny it, you got paid for the background acting work which you proceeded to spend on therapy.
We can discuss abt eg. music (i play some too) inc. The Fab Four (this was the initial reason why this a/c was created), 2NEBANG, pop punk rock, hip-hop, oldies, ASOUE, The Wizarding World, superheroes (esp. DCU Batman, Mortal Kombat, X-Men, TMNT & some Spiderman), Planet Of The Apes, action + comedy + horror (inc. psychological thrillers) + sci-fi, cartoon & kids shows, movies & TV series, books & cmx, art inc. fashion, travelling & cultures, sports (soccer), food glorious foodππ
