I learned that Lennon would tell people that the one thing in life he regretted was never getting the chance to have sex with his mom before she was killed by a truck when he was a teen

Very good. Get both volumes. It's an old translation, but a classic.

Does anyone read biographies of authors/philosophers/etcetera, before reading their works?

Also, do biographies of Kings/Politicians/Etcetera give a good bit of historical context before/while telling the "life story"?
