Recommend some of your favorite biographies

[Arkitech]

I've found that biographies are usually more interesting than fiction, it's kind of like spying on someone's life. Some of the more interesting one's I've read:

Malcolm X (this guy's life deserved a movie, the biography was even better)
Richard Wright (black author)
Rockerfeller Family (this was a really great read, long as hell but nonetheless very informative)
Marquis de Sade (I've only read his bio's on the web, this guy was freaky) :Q


Anyone care to recommend a few good bio's

The only one that I've read recently was General H. Norman Schwarzkopf's. Was a required reading for my Modern Military History class a few semesters ago and it was one of the few history books that I made no attempt at all to sell back. It was pretty darn good. I should read it again sometime...

I've always thought it would be interesting to read a biography of Napoleon, but I've never done it. How about you let me know how it is?

I am Jackie Chan. It was really a very interesting read.

Currently working on If Chins Could Kill: Confessions of a 'B' Movie Actor about good ole Ash (Bruce Campbell).

Mankind by Mick Foley is surprisingly good.

That Jackie Chan book is great! I like his movies, but it blew me away to see what kind of childhood he had and how much training he's had. Wow.
