that's a neat one though I have yet to read it for longer periods of time.

Biography of Malcolm X by Alex Haley is great

Life of JK Huysmans by Robert Baldick is good

that Divine Invasions PKD bio is also pretty good

I'm finishing up The Metaphysical Club and it's been a very enjoyable read.
It's about American Intellectual History, following the lives of Oliver Wendell Holmes, William James and John Dewey.
Would recommend.

Tecumseh: a Life. Fantastic book and extremely exhaustive on Tecumseh, the natives of the midwest, and the war of 1812.
