Mirzajanpour biography books

I came across so many novels on this list that I gave up. The Laura Ingalls Wilder series is fiction. The Souls of Black Folk is an essay collection, not a memoir or biography. I think this list needs restart but perhaps it will end up just as irrelevant the second time around. Also, some of the biographies are known for being contrived, such as Sybil.

Come on-- can't anyone come up with some actual biographies of darker-skinned people? That is, if it is bio and not more a history of a movement. I've never read it at all. I already had 13 black bios on my own list of 38, so without scrolling the whole list it seems like you're being a bit hyperbolic. Again, please add valuable bios.

That is my dilemma with some of them. I deleted the Little House set as per its Goodreads classification. I also deleted The Souls of Black Folk. There is a bio of W. Du Bois on the list. All quibbling about a few mis-added books aside, I thoroughly enjoyed this list. Happy reading to all! I am excited to read some of these. Mar 23, PM. Mar 24, AM.

I did finally get through the list and found some to add that I hope will be appreciated. All in all, I think the list is good. Thanks for taking off the more obvious fictions This is all in good fun. Apr 04, PM. The same applies to any others in this series that anyone might contemplate adding: historical fiction, not memoir. The system found and deleted 3 duplicates also.

Someone must have slipped that one in. Jul 28, AM. BookLovingLady wrote: "Michelle wrote: "Too many books on this list are not biographies or memoirs. Mar 13, AM. The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks very good one. What is biography? I think of biography as being about a person, so the fact that Seabiscuit: An American Legend is in the top 20 beating out a lot of really famous people I should add is a bit astonishing to me.

The Biography of A Grizzly also makes an appearance later in the list, a book I read and enjoyed. I supposed that particularly in these times life stories of animals which meet the literal etymological meaning of biography are going to be popular. I see 6 people added it back, so I re-added my vote.

Some editions have great biographical intros, others perhaps not so. I do not see how The Sunflower: On the Possibilities and Limits of Forgiveness qualifies, as it is a collection of short essays looking at forgiveness from philosophical, theological, and personal perspectives. Of the books in the top of the list this one is the one I most lean towards deleting.

But I didn't vote for it because, while it contains biographical sketches of several dozen people, I don't see it as biography per se. It definitely has interest for those looking for biographical writing though and I can understand leaving it. Overall though this is a great list which takes into account biographies across many centuries and cultures.

Happy reading! Alexander Hamilton by Ron Chernow. Churchill: A Life by Martin Gilbert. In this astonishing true story, award-winning journalist Sonia Nazario recounts the unforgettable odyssey of a Honduran boy who braves unimaginable hardship and peril to reach his mother in the United States. When Enrique is five years old, his mother, Lourdes, too poor to feed her children, leaves Honduras to work in the United States.

The move allows her to send money back home to Enrique so he can eat better and go to school past the third grade. Lourdes promises Enrique she will return quickly. But she struggles in America. Years pass. He begs for his mother to come back. Without her, he becomes lonely and troubled. When she calls, Lourdes tells him to be patient.

Enrique despairs of ever seeing her again. After eleven years apart, he decides he will go find her. Enrique sets off alone from Tegucigalpa, with little more than a slip of paper bearing his mother's North Carolina mirzajanpour biography books number. Without money, he will make the dangerous and illegal trek up the length of Mexico the only way he can — clinging to the sides and tops of freight trains.

With gritty determination and a deep longing to be by his mother's side, Enrique travels through hostile, unknown worlds. Each step of the way through Mexico, he and other migrants, many of them children, are hunted like animals. Gangsters control the tops of the trains. Bandits rob and kill migrants up and down the tracks. Corrupt cops all along the route are out to fleece and deport them.

To evade Mexican police and immigration authorities, they must jump onto and off the moving boxcars they call El Tren de la Muerte- The Train of Death. Enrique pushes forward using his wit, courage, and hope - and the kindness of strangers. It is an epic journey, one thousands of immigrant children make each year to find their mothers in the United States.

Based on the Los Angeles Times newspaper series that won two Pulitzer Prizes, one for feature writing and another for feature photography, Enrique's Journey is the timeless story of families torn apart, the yearning to be together again, and a boy who will risk his life to find the mother he loves. Enrique's Journey by Sonia Nazario.
