I use to devour biographies and haven't found any good ones lately. I was hoping that you might have read something interesting lately. I'm not really interested in celebrities - political (party affiliation doesn't matter), historic, newsworthy would be more my 'cup of tea.'
I'm crossing my fingers that there are some good ones out there!
Thanks,

I just saw this one in the new book section and it looks good. Wild flower by Mark Seal.

I read a biography of Sandra Day O'Connor by Joan Biskupic a few years ago and it was fabulous. Besides being her biography there is a lot in there about how the Supreme Court works as well as how she became such an influential member.
Colin Powell's autobiography is also very good.

Wendy,
I was at the bookstore the other day and picked up Loose Girl: A Memoir of Promiscuity by Kerry Cohen.

Good idea! If a glass of wine is involved, life is good. :)
Thanks!
