john
He will always be my 5th Beatle๐๐๐ฅ๐๐ธ๐ผ๐ต๐ถ๐๐๐ง๐ป๐น๐ปalso, this is a very nice art work... it fits the 'A Day In The Life' mv mood....
Had a day and I rewatched the music video for A Day in the Life. It's a triumph of emotion and human complexity. To avoid feeling left out of all that gorgeous handheld camera footage, I redrew a frame.

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!๐จ๐ถ๐ 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 too๐๐๐๐๐ 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 indeedโ๐๐๐ 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... โค๐๐ธmy 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 teens๐จ๐โ๐ 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!โ๐๐ my rating: 9/10
7) John (Solo Series)-> An easy to understand book to satisfy some of your John obsession๐๐my rating: 7.5/10
8) Revolver-> Technical explanation on how the band made the albumโs songs from a music studio POV, still can satisfy the Revolver obsession in you (if you have, that is, like yours truly heee๐๐)๐ฟmy rating: 8/10
**I can't seem to find John's other self-written book as below via online though...๐
- 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 why๐โ) & 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...๐๐ค
Till then... reading is life!๐๐
