Do you enjoy reading great biographies?
As for me ,when i was a high school student ,i paid great interest on history ,and i borrowed a lot of great biographies to read .
But now i seldom read them . Except i pay great interest on a great man ,i would find some books about him to read.
What about you?

Oh yes! Biographies and memoirs and diaries too. You can learn a lot by reading biographies of great people. Although there are many hardships and obstacles these people have encountered, you will see the many ways they succeeded in life. Maybe that's why they are being written, for us to emulate their greatness or maybe to be just inspired by their stories. My favorite? The biography of Jose Rizal, it's a story i'll never get tired of reading. Another one, the Diary of Anne Frank, it's so touching and so vivid in description.

It depends on the biography. The last biography that I highly enjoyed was about Malcom X which I read two years ago. Other than that one, no other ones peeked my interest.

Real life stories are more interesting. Besides learning history and geography, I am inspired by their experiences. A few of the biographies that I enjoyed reading are of China, one is James Hudson Taylor, the founder of the China Inland Mission; another is Watchman Nee, one of the three renown Christian preachers in the previous century; and the most recent is the Heavenly Man Brother Yun.

Yes I have read many biographies and autobiographies, memoirs, journals and collected letters. I like to read literary biographies, books about artists, historical figures and people who have achieved great things. I find it interesting to read about other people's lives and the times they lived in.
