Biographies

I never really read biographies. In fact, I may never have read one. But today I went to the library to pick up a biography on Gandhi, and ended up picking up two more books. One is As Nature Made Him: The Boy Who Was Raised as a Girl by John Colapinto, about that baby boy in the 60's with the botched circumcision who was then "converted" into a baby girl. The other is Ultramarathon Man by Dean Karnazes, this guy who is trying to (or was trying to? he may have completed the goal?) run 300 miles at one time, without stopping. There was an article on him in Runner's World a while ago, and it was pretty interesting. So now I have 3 books to read. Should be a fun month.
