    Amusing old biographies.

    It is interesting to compare these "classic old bios with up-to-date, much more objective ones. Some are quite hilarious. Others are worthwhile as genuine sources.

    Okay

    The book in my opinon became boring and knew alot of the facts about the people I have heard of. It is boring to read about the people I do not like to learn about or have never heard of.

    What?

    Why do they even have biography books here? I looked up "classics" and this was sitting down at the bottom. How is this a classic?
