John Lennon: In His Own Words
Ken Lawrence, . . Andrews McMeel, $12.95 (184pp) ISBN 978-0-7407-5477-7
Master quote-gatherer Lawrence (who's compiled words by Oprah, Michael Moore and others) has put together a collection of bon mots, rounding up a lifetime of Lennon's thoughts on music, fame, love and life. Lennon's wit and trademark sarcasm are well represented, as is his more thoughtful and self-deprecating side, all fired by the controversial Beatle's mistrust of the status quo, his lifelong quest to shake things up and his fervent belief in peace in our lifetime.
