George Harrison: Living in the material world

by Olivia Harrison

George Harrison was so much more than just "a Beatle." His love for fast cars was a revelation to me. The Monty Python part of his life is as funny as the Flying Circus and revealed a sense of humor often hidden within The Fabs. The book is filled with stories from Harrison's friends, including Paul McCartney, Ringo Starr, Eric idle, and many others. I really appreciated looking at all the beautiful photographs taken by Harrison himself in the mid-1960's.

This is one of the best "Beatle" books written. It is more than just a trip down Memory Lane. It's a right fitting volume for a man who left us way too early.

The Island

by Elin Hildebrand
From the second page on, I was immersed in the Nantucket setting of this book. A cancelled wedding brings a Mom, her bohemian sister, and two daughters back to a family vacation home for the summer. I liked fantasizing about living this remote island lifestyle (complete with hunky island caretaker) that only the rich can afford, but I also could realistically relate to the sometimes testy family relationships of the females staying there. Grab some ice tea, sit in the sun, and enjoy! You'll hate when this book ends -- I'm going to try Castaways next.
