I just finished reading a book called Alexander the Great: Legacy of a Conqueror, by Winthrop Lindsay Adams. Has anyone else read thiis book before? Alexander is one of my favourite historical icons: can anyone suggest any other books about the conqueror to me?

Rather than a book, I recommend part of a book: "The Outline of History" by H.G. Wells (yes, the guy who is better known for early science fiction). He devotes a substantial section of the book to Alexander. What he has to say may give you some new perspective.

No, but you can read about my favorite icon, Ben Franklin.
A good biography is the one by Walter Isaacson, 'An American Life' and it has a companion book of Franklin's own writings.

no but go to your local bookstore (my favorite bookstore is Barnes and Noble) and someone will be able to suggest these types of books to you
