After reading 11 great novels in 2011, I am declaring 2012 "The Year of the Biography." I've chosen 12 titles to continue my online book club.
My plan is to read one biography a month this year. Then near the end of each month I’ll write a post sharing my reflections. Please join me! I’d love for you read (or re-read) any of these books and to post your thoughts along with mine.
Here’s the proposed schedule:
