"Seven Pillars of Wisdom," by T.E.Lawrence. A brilliant man with extraordinary talents and driving ambition, hamstrung by his own pecularly well-defined sense of the rightness of things. A metamorphic man who no longer believed in god, but still believed in morality, having studied the Bible in the original languages at Oxford. Caught between an ethical rock and a hard place, the result was profound disillusion and ennui; and one of the greatest autobiographies ever written.

My favorite autobiography is “My Inventions” by Nikola Tesla. I have two reasons for picking this book, Tesla was a maverick who studied outside of the norm for his time and secondly because he was a visionary inventory. Both of these qualities I admire.

It would be hard to choose just one. But I loved In My Hands by Irene Gut Opdyke, The Cage by Ruth Minsky Sender, and I Have Lived A Thousand Years by Livia Bitton-Jackson.

I really enjoyed Richard Wright's Black Boy.
The detail and the narrative is amazing. It also shines a new light on civil rights, race relations from unique perspective, but that's not what makes the book great. It's just so rich. Never boring.
