[QUOTE="KevinM, post: 212464, member: 2318"] The Life of Johnson by James Boswell, Esq., is arguably the greatest biography in the English language. Johnson was a writer in 18th C. England, Boswell was his buddy and the the two rambled around London and England with Bozzy taking notes on everything J said and did. It's like a visit back a couple centuries to another country. Yes, the book is a real doorstop, but Johnson was such an interesting, politically incorrect (for today) and outrageous character that the book can be memorable if it selects you as its right reader. Besides, it doesn't have to be read from beginning to end. It lends itself to serendippity. [/QUOTE]
