I just finished Tune In by Mark Lewisohn, the first of a planned trilogy recounting the story of the Beatles in an obsessively thorough fashion. It's quite literally a day-by-day account of the lives of the four Beatles, and the early years of their partnership. 944 pages, and it takes us only to the recording of their first hit single, Please Please Me, in 1962!
Now I'm on to Hugo award winning (1982) Downbelow Station by C.J. Cherryh. Intrigue and political manoeuvring in a strategic space station. Cherryh is a late discovery for me, but a very pleasant one. Her writing and characterization are among the best in the field. Not exactly a page-turner, but pretty intense and plausible SF.
