Name That Book
This is an excerpt from a book I recently started. Tell me if you recognize what it's from. And if you know, if you've read it, don't give anything away! I just started (and am enjoying it immensely).
This was great:
"It helped that he looked like a rock star, with his hair and his leather jacket and all that, but my feeling wasn't anything to do with music; I just mean that I could tell we needed JJ, and so when he appeared it felt right. He wasn't Ringo, though. He was more like Paul. Maureen was Ringo, except she wasn't very funny. I was George, except I wasn't shy or spiritual. Martin was John, except he wasn't talented or cool. Thinking about it, maybe we were more like another group with four people in it."

Sorry, I cheated by using the hints you gave out. Interesting premise for a book though!

well, you must've known something about it because the excerpt doesn't really give much away about what book it could be....
and it's a great original premise. You should read it....maybe it's not your kind of book, but maybe it should be :) (and I don't mean because of the topic, of course, but because sometimes it's good to branch out).

Well, I just googled some words together -- guess I got lucky. I'll put it on my "wish I had time to read this" list.
