Question of the Day:
What's the most interesting biography or memoir you've read?
------
If I ever finished it, I'd probably really like the
"My Life" by Bill Clinton. But finding time to read long novels just isn't in the plans for the past few years.
The last time I really read biographies was in elementary school or junior high. I do remember thoroughly enjoying the biographies of Babe Ruth and Benjamin Franklin.
(CP32 probably met both of them in person. I hear she rode a busasaurus to school as a little girl.) And I still have the books, too! Both came from the Scholastic order sheets that we did in grade school each month. I think you got a star sticker on a board in class for every book your read. Biographies probably gave double stars, and I've always been a sucker for coupons and bonuses.
Back in 2005 or 2006, I did manage to read
"Teacher Man" by Frank McCourt. It was excellent.
Other unread biographies include the life story of a college professor I had, and
Obama's book, "Audacity of Hope".
What about you? ...
