Read any good biographies?
 

Have been listening to John Adams by David McCullough and can't stop. It's an unabridged version so it is very long (13 CDs for part 1 alone). I never thought I'd get into reading/listening to biographies but this one is very well written. I think I'll look for others written by McCullough. John Adams was an amazing man, a true American hero and patriot. We need men like him to lead us again.

Read/listened to any good biographies lately? I drive at least 40000 miles a year in my company car. I have all the time in the world to listen to good books.

Anything you can find on Ernest Hemmingway. I have read a couple but don't remember who wrote them.

Chernow's biography of Alexander Hamilton.

Goes well with Burr by Gore Vidal.

The Rise of Theodore Roosevelt and Theodore Rex both by Edmund Morris are also worth reading.

Life and time of Burt Munro....the legendary speed man.
