bailedI got halfway through but then gave up as it was just too repetitive with variations on I went hunting and killed this many animals. Not an auspicious start to my reading year.
pickThis is a book complied by one of John Lennon's closest friends, Pete Shotton.
It gives an in-depth insight into the relationship between the two men, from their childhood days, until Lennon's final days in New York.
It follows the known John Lennon/Beatles' story with Shotton's own memories woven in. The included photos are great coming from Pete's personal collection, which probably won't appear elsewhere.

I read this many yrs ago, probably on Gutenberg myself. Had there been an intro by Louise Erdrich I would have read it. And I love to read notes.
My first link down (in the comments) has a preview link which might gives you the first pg of the intro to help you decide. Click under book pic. The second link is a scholarly essay on the writing of it. The third link is some extra historical info.
It's very interesting story.
John Tanner was kidnapped from Kentucky at 9 yrs old by the Shawnee and then sold to the Ojibwa. This is his story dictated to a friend in the early 1800's. I went down a rabbit trail and stayed up until 4:30 in the morning researching Northern Minnesota burial mounds. 😆 What a dweeb I am.

"Whoever believes in him shall not perish..."
God makes the offer. We make the choice.
There will be no atheists in hell (Phil. 2:10-11), but there will be no God-seekers either.
