And I’m just starting to read this book: The Snowball: Warren Buffett and the Business of Life by Alice Schroeder. I realized after reading Andrew Carnegie’s autobiography (The Autobiography of Andrew Carnegie and The Gospel of Wealth) that I can get quite a bit out of a biography if it’s well-written and the subject is interesting*. I’ve generally shied away from biographies in favor of histories, because I much prefer the ‘grand sweep’ view of a good historical book, but Carnegie was a good writer and had such an interesting life that I decided to take another plunge (not to mention it was reasonably priced on my KindleKindle.

FYI - the Carnegie autobiography is on Gutenberg…
True, I should have pointed that out, although I usually assume most people (unless they have an e-reader) don’t really plan to read book-length items on a computer. But you’re right, now that I have a Kindle I should be pointing out Gutenberg, too (although the amazon version is still only $1.99).
