Basically biographies. What's up with this? I do not know.
I started out reading Ron Chernow's Mark Twain, and then Lenora Chu's Little Soldiers, along with Lauren Hough's Monster of A Land and Virginia Woolf's A Writer's Diary (none of which are exactly autobiographies).
Now I'm reading Traitor to His Class, which is a biography of FDR and just filled with things I did not know about the years between 1880 and 1945. After this, I have two biographies of Eleanor Roosevelt queued up.
And while I was finding them on the shelves at the library, I saw a biography of JD Salinger I am tempted to read, though honestly Salinger is one of the most annoying writers on the planet. But maybe the biography would show me why! I'm also considering reading Chernow's Hamilton, which is responsible for the musical, kind of. I really liked his Mark Twain, though.
I'm also still reading a lot of science fiction, of course. Currently a really good novel called Homebound, by Portia Elan; but also I just scored a review copy of Tanya Huff's newest novel.
