Hi all,

I like reading about other's lives. Its pretty neat to see their
experiences and how they became the people they are. Any recommendations
of memoirs or biographies. In the biography category I've read about
blind famous people like Hellen Keller and her partner Annie Sullivan,
Louis Braille, and Eric Weinmayor. In general, I've read about some of
our presidents and poets. I think I read a memoir of Annie Dillard.

Look forward to your ideas.

Ashley
