Thanks to you for bringing this bio to my attention (and whetting my appetite for some promising nonfiction)), and to Fizzy Jill for showing me how I can do it.Dawn @ sheIsTooFondOfBookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09285873722005594325noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3291822984443127930.post-36089045539463582942011-12-17T00:04:09.437-05:002011-12-17T00:04:09.437-05:00I just checked audible and now have a serious cont...I just checked audible and now have a serious contender for my next audio book.

I must have been hiding under a rock somewhere! This book does indeed sound fascinating though, and I find his strange behaviors very interesting. They probably make for very intriguing reading. Great review today.

The movie is very cool though even though it isn't supposed to be all that accurate. But there's a director's cut disc that shows how David Lean managed all the shadows and sand in the desert that is just fascinating!rhapsodyinbookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07041412748239010264noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3291822984443127930.post-82544598981401275262011-12-16T08:38:55.466-05:002011-12-16T08:38:55.466-05:00I absolutely love biographies, and have to admit t...I absolutely love biographies, and have to admit that the sum total of my knowledge about LofA comes from the well-known movie!
