Top Ten Best-Selling Biographies
Ranked #46 in Books, Poetry & Writing, #1,685 overall
Best selling biographies
Some of the best recent biographies are listed on this page. These were found on the top biographies list at Amazon. Their list is mixed with autobiographies and a few histories. I have separated those out and list only the best biographies.
Biographies tell the intimate, personal life story of someone - most often a famous person, but not always. Biographies are usually written by a non-involved third person. On this list you'll find biographies about George Washington, Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton, and Karen Carpenter, as well as the owner of the New York Yankees. There's a lot of variety.

- Stealing The Wave and Eddie Would Go..these are 2 fantastic reads both about surfing..now before you click off.I live miles from the sea and couldnt surf if you strapped me to an ironing board in a tsunami...but to read about the strength and endurance and in Eddies case, the self sacrifice.These are not sportsmen but demi-gods of strength and endurance...and as OB1 would say "more powerful than you could possibly imagine"...I have a small box of books never to be thrown or sold and these are 2 in that box..
