Biographies

Biographies are a perennial favorite around here, so here's what's been hot lately:

Oprah

From famed celebrity biographer Kitty Kelley comes a tell-all about one of the most popular media figures out there.  Instead of just taking Oprah's advice about what to read, you can hear about the woman herself!  Kelley claims to understand Oprah better than Oprah understands herself, so it's bound to be an interesting listen.

Laura Bush - Spoken from the Heart

The former first lady created a scandal recently with revelations that her political views don't entirely match her husband's.  With her audiobook, you can have an intimate look at how her opinions developed and how she relates to her controversial husband.

Ted Kennedy - True Compass

The Kennedys have always been popular audiobook subjects around here, and the late senator's memoir is no different.   Now you can hear from the man himself (well, almost--the narration is done by John Bedford Lloyd since it's a posthumous memoir).



Andre Agassi - Open

Open has been a surprise hit.  As it turns out, the life of a professional tennis player isn't all fun and games.  From an overbearing father to a very public entanglement with Brooke Shields, you can hear what makes Andre Agassi tick.





Marilyn Monroe - The Secret Life of Marilyn Monroe

Even listeners who don't normally go for celebrity biographies are interested in Marilyn Monroe.  This comprehensive biography is great for anyone who has always wondered what was behind the glamour.
