Kiki's "100 Biographies & Autobiographies I've Read"

There's something about a good biography that makes it hard to put down. Maybe it's the excitement of seeing people achieve greatness; or is it the heartbreak of knowing the tragedies that befall common folk are also experienced by successful, notable people? Whatever the reasons, biography has always been one of my favorite genres. Here is a list of 100 Biographies & Autobiographies I have read. How many of these have you read???
