I LOVED The Glass Castle by Jeanette Walls. I’m also really big on entertainment biographies…Yes Please by Amy Poehler is hysterical. A Little Bit Wicked by Kristin Chenoweth is phenomenal.

I really liked “Custer’s Trials” by T. J. Stiles. It’s one of the best biographies I’ve read.

Sort of a biography. I love Masters of Doom. It’s about John Carmack and John Romero, the two guys behind Id Software who made Doom and Quake. The audiobook is incredible- narrated by Whil Wheaton. Can’t recommend it enough. I’ve listened to it twice through and will probably listen again soon.
