If you love the Beatles at all, or enjoy their music-
go read this. It's cogent, and nostalgic and hopeful and wonderful and a heck of a good story.
Surprised that none of the commenters mention
Liverpool Fantasy: A Novel by Larry Kirwan. he's the lead singer of Black 47, and a Beatles fan... and he writes an alternate Beatles history from the other end- not from their career and success, but from wondering what if they'd never really started, never really been the Beatles.
Going to sleep, kind of humming "In My Life" to myself as I get ready for bed.
