Subject: RE: Happy Biographers Day! What's the best biography you've ever read?"Mad, Bad and Dangerous to know" - Sir Ranulph Fiennes. Great autobiography, cannot recommend highly enough, this guy is a legend. (amputated his own frost-bitten fingers at home, kicked out of the SAS, ran 7 marathons, in seven days, on all seven continents (only a few months after a heart attack)....oh and you know, solo'd across Antarctica and the Arctic and stuff!! "View from the Summit" - Sir Edmund Hillary "South - The endurance Expedition" - Ernest Shackleton. I know it's not a full biography - but comes close. "In the water they can't see you cry" - Amanda Ray Beard - read start to finish in one sitting, enthralling and inspiring. "Paddy Mayne" - By Hamish Ross. - Major in the 1st regiment SAS. |
