Hahaha! You are a really funny young lady!
I'd like to say "thank you" on behalf of the group and ourselves and I hope we passed the audition.

Offline This has to be the best Beatles book, it's not necessarily the most informative or whatever, but to hear the stories first hand just makes me feel like I was there, at least more than Norman's book or any other biography. I have it at work and read it on my breaks, today I read about how George lost his virginity! Where else can you get that kind of information? The best part is the bit about LSD, the pages get all freaky and George has a really long, interesting quote.

That post just made me realize that we on the Beatles Bible have our own subculture.
We should make a list of the Fab Forum-isms.

We should! But what do we call it? The Zigtionary?

Offline I don't really see the Anthology book as a book you'd “read.” It seems to me more like a book you'd “glance through.” I mean, I've never read MY copy all the way through.

No, but it's a book that you can just keep coming back to. Open up any page and it's filled with incredibly interesting material, plus the pictures are great. I wish there was a way to combine the greatness of Anthology with the knowledge of a Mark Lewisohn book, I'm sure Joe could do it.

And that must have been a quiet weekend, Zig.

I read your post and thought, “she's right – how the Hell did I pull that off?”
Then I remembered – it was actually over a 4-day weekend. I got the book on the Wednesday before this past Easter. I started reading it on Saturday and finished it on the following Tuesday. Our company gives us the Monday after as a holiday and I took Tuesday off to extend the weekend.
Thanks for keeping me in check, my friend.

A lot of the information I've read in this book has been new, but it's not like big pieces of information, it's the little bits that make this book great. It was funny because yesterday when I was reading it on my break, one of my co-workers was reading some serious intellectual book and she talked to me about it for a few seconds, but all I could really say to her was “Well….I just read about how bad of a driver the Beatles manager was.” It's those little things that you pretty much have to be a major Beatles nerd to enjoy reading about. Supposedly, Brian would stop at the green lights, then go at the red lights. George described this scene where he was driving with Brian, and then Brian took off at the red light, but a cop saw him and starting chasing after them on foot. The cop would catch up to them at the green lights because Brian would just be sitting there stopped, but then, once the light turned red, Brian would zoom off again. According to George, Brian was completely oblivious to the cop or that he was doing anything wrong because he was just so preoccupied in his own world. It's stuff like that, and imagining George describe it, that makes this book by far the best I've read.

Offline So I'm wanting to get a Beatles book that is pretty substantial, I'm going on a big trip and would like to having a Beatles book to read. I really want to try Anthology out but for anyone who has read it, is it really too bulky to take on a trip (plane/airport/car, lots of moving around)?
When are you free to take some tea with me?
