Synopsis

Scores of appeal-based reading lists cover topics you'll never find in the library catalog—from extraordinary women and overcoming adversity to sports talk, spiritual journeys, and luminous prose.

With the genre of memoirs filled with so many titles and from such a variety of authors, it is hard to grasp what's available and what's worth reading. For all those who love delving into the lives of others, this Read On… volume offers help.

Read On…Life Stories: Reading Lists for Every Taste offers brief descriptions of nearly 450 published memoirs, from classics like The Autobiography of Benjamin Franklin, to recent bestsellers like John Grogan's Marley and Me and Julie Andrews' Home. Titles are grouped together by their appeal to readers, and there is something for everyone: humorous memoirs, thrilling adventure stories, chatty celebrity reminiscences, cathartic dramas of family dysfunction, fascinating career retrospectives, and insightful stories of family and personal lives in many eras and places.
