Girls Like Us: Carole King, Joni Mitchell, Carly Simon -- and the Journey of a Generation

Hello all,

Thanks to Jan for suggesting our September selection, Girls LIke Us: Carole King, Joni Mitchell, Carly Simon -- and the Journey of a Generation.  [http://tinyurl.com/mudy57q]. The book is both a compelling biography of three musical icons and a social history of an era in which many of us grew up. 

As Jan noted in her last email, the book is longish -- about 600 pages. Regardless of whether you read the book cover to cover. I think you'll enjoy this excellent website -- Girls Like Us: The Music [http://www.girlslikeusthemusic.com]. It provides a brief summary of each chapter along with relevant music and video clips -- a sort of multimedia "Cliff Notes". It's a great companion as you read each chapter, a good review at the end… and helpful if you don't get through the whole book.

Looking forward to seeing you in September!

Peggy
