I still remember the revelation I had when I stumbled upon "Madame Curie" late in high school. From then on, I was hooked on "real" stories. Like you, I enjoy the details of a well-researched biography.<br /><br />Fiction too often is just too unlike human life, too unpredictable (or worse, predictable), to interest me. But once in awhile, I find a novel that blows me away. I know I'm in the vast minority there.Other Women's Storieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01208560495832650955noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15943249020927618.post-10769553770164314142015-03-03T07:28:00.389-08:002015-03-03T07:28:00.389-08:00Oh, I hadn't heard about a new Mike Perry book...Oh, I hadn't heard about a new Mike Perry book! I still need to read his children's book, but I'm ready for another adult one. <br /><br />I just adore Destiny of the Republic. Any author that can make history come to life like Millard did is tops in my book.

Since I love HF, biographies give me details about a person and place that fiction doesn't.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02582583925813368098noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15943249020927618.post-65124490809974590442015-03-03T06:33:00.256-08:002015-03-03T06:33:00.256-08:00Wow, great choices -- ALL of them.

I got to sit next to him at a luncheon at Winter Institute last year and he was delightful. I think he has a new book coming out soon?Books on the Tablehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10783829653080527338noreply@blogger.com
