Books That Didn't Change My Life But That I Love Anyway
Here is a list of books that I tremendously enjoyed reading. They are not fiction books as I do not like to read fiction at all.
They are mostly biographies, autobiographies and books related to interesting topics.
They did not change my life but certainly inspired me a great deal.

My Best Ever Reading
Malcolm X
In this most remarkable book, Alex Haley is able to completely enters Malcolm X soul and delivers a stunning view of his life and transformation.A truly brilliant piece of writing. I promise you will not be able to put this book down.
I am a huge fan of Malcom X, so I guess I'm pretty biased.
Abraham Lincoln
By Reknown Author Doris Kearns Goodwin
In this more than excellent book on Abraham Lincoln, Doris Kearns Goodwin has brilliantly intertwined Abe's rivals and showed the important role that they all had in helping him being one of the best presidents of the United States.President Lincoln is my favorite presidento of the U.S.
Life Of Benjamin Franklin
Another book that I deeply enjoyed reading was the biography of good old Ben Franklin who was the editor of Poor Richard's Almanac.I never knew the extent of his genius until I started reading his biography.
I now collect all the quotes I can find from him as they are so full of wisdom and common sense.
A truly inspiring person.
Blog Posts About Benjamin Franklin
Let's see what the bloggers are talking about
Mountains Beyond Mountains
Tracy Kidder
Mountains Beyond Mountains follows Dr. Paul Farmer as he goes through his daily life practicing medecine in Haiti, lecturing in Harvard, visiting the gray prisons of Russia to treat prisonners with tuberculosis.
When Dr.Farmer is not doing all this, he is giving conferences and raising money for his charitable work.
He is truly an extraordinary human being and Tracy Kidder has been able to write about him for all the world to discover this second " Albert Schweitzer".
Dr. Farmer is my favorite hero of this modern world we live in.

Blogging About The Books That You Read
Eleanor Roosevelt Tome 1 and Tome 2
Written By Blanche Wiesen Cook
I certainly learned a lot about the private life of Eleanor Roosevelt by reading these 2 volumes.Full of intimate details, letters and a few pictures
which you rarely see.
She was a remarkable woman of great talent who fought for the little guy and had a profound influence on America.
I loved reading all the details of her life with the president.

- Well anyone who knows me knows it would have to be Women Who Run with the Wolves. That book really did change my life. All the Harry Potter books. I really can't think of any others at the moment. My tastes have been changing lately, instead of fantasy, I'm getting into murder mysteries. And I'm getting into biographies. I'm off to order one now.
