THOUGHTS ON BIOGRAPHIES...

Biographies, whether autobiographical or not, are quite fascinating books. They give one an insight to the artist/personality which can be quietly enlightening, funny or even sad; rarely are they boring.
Reading this genre of book has been popular since the 19th Century and remains popular to this day.
Often they come in the format of photo- journals, as is the case of the Mohammad Ali book shown. I particularly like this book, as it is full of previously unpublished photographs.
So, if you love Tolkien's work, or the fabulous stories by Kipling or the humour of Terry Gilliam,
find out more about the man behind the words/pictures...you may be pleasantly surprised.
