Jim's Big List of Biographies, Autobiographies, and Memoirs Waiting to Be Read in 2026

A list of bios, anutobios, annd memoirs actually sitting on my shelves or in my Kindle library, all waiting to be read. Some have been waiting for several years. This list does not include the novels, history, general non-fiction, poetry, plays, and anthologies also waiting to be read. I should never go to Barnes and Noble or Amazon again. But I will.
