So I was at Barnes and Noble today but their selection was pathetic. I went in there fully intending to get a few biographies, one of Thomas Jefferson for starters but all they had was bullshit like "The Secret Emotions of Thomas Jefferson" about his relationship with that slavegirl of his and other shit I couldn't give a flying fuck about. The only mildly interesting thing there was a recent release about TJ's little known war with the muslim pirate nations but that was far too expensive for what it was even twenty percent off, double spaced and large type and the book was fucking short.

Anyway you're all smart chaps so I'd like to ask you all what the best biographies of Henry Ford, Howard Hughes and Thomas Jefferson are.

Barnes and Noble is a book store. The sell books, and currently pop culture is big.

Go to a library for biographies that aren't utter shit. Specifically, try books written before 1990 on the subjects (before 1970 if you have an expanded vocabulary). The older books might be missing bits and pieces, but they aren't as full of filth.

If you really want to understand them though, tea relevant historical documents.

If a thief steals your wallet but offers you give you $50 for a cab ride home, do you refuse to take the money too?
