Good Beatle biographies?

[practicallyzen]

I'm always looking for more stuff to read on them.

So far I've got a biography on The Beatles by Bob Spitz (uh, I don't recommend this one), the Anthology by the Beatles themselves (definitely the best so far), McCartney by Christopher Sanford, Here Comes The Sun by Joshua M Greene, John by Cynthia Lennon (which I haven't finished yet) and Memories of John Lennon (not a biography at all).

Has anyone read any good ones that they can recommend?

PS I've asked for John Lennon: The Life by Philip Norman for Christmas. I have no idea if it's going to be good or not, but I plan to find out...without spending my own money on it. Hahaa. The perfect plan.

EDIT: John Lennon: The Life. A great read! Of course I can't be certain on the accuracy of anything but it certainly was enjoyable. It wasn't a boring old biography, it really kept me interested, I just read it for hours on end.

I read Half of McCartney (can't remember the authors name, wanst paul tho) and that was pretty good, jsut couldn't read the other half cause hmmm...not sure why .lol

That's probably the one I've got, it's called McCartney as well.

I just read one for school about John Lennon. It's called Revolution: The Story of John Lennon, by John Duggleby. I think that's his name. It's good.

Anyone know any good biographies on George? I'm interested in reading about him. I'd perfer something personal, not just like a description of his life, but his views on things, you know.

Isn't there his book...I, Me, Mine? I don't know much about it, and I haven't been able to find it except on the internet, but it's by him, so it's gotta be his views, right?

Though it seems like maybe it's pretty casual, and not too deep or anything.

Anyway, right now I'm at the beginning of "Here Comes The Sun" by Joshua M. Greene. It's too early to know for sure if it's good or not, but according to the back it "tells the story of George Harrison's musical and spiritual journey with more detail and immediacy than in any other book about Harrison or the Beatles."

I don't know whether to believe that or not. We shall see.

Oh, I didn't know he wrote a book. I'll have to look for that one, then.

I dont really read biographies. The most I've really read was a comic bio on ringo that a friend bought me. And the little bits of information I pick up from place to place.I have to start reading up now though, because I am writing a report on the beatles for school. But I dont really consider it a chore.  

[practicallyzen]

I wouldn't consider it a chore either! If only I had gotten to write a report on The Beatles for school...

I found I Me Mine at my library, and I just started reading it. It's good so far. I'm so excited! Haha.

My teacher's on one of those "choose your own topic" kicks. lol. So when I found out I had to write a 5 page paper I figured it might as well be about something interesting.

Does anyone know of any good online biographies?

Here Comes The Sun by Joshua M. Greene is awesome! It's definitely one of THE best George bios out there 3nodding

Paul McCartney by Alan Clayton.
That's pretty good.

Okay, I'll look around and see if I can find it anywhere.

Thanks.
