The Virginian is outstanding.

I would suggest Louis Lamour’s Autobiography, “Education of a Wandering Man”. Self-educated, Jack of all trades, and avid reader. Fascinating life. I literally could not put it down.

Another autobiography worth reading is Stephen King's “On Writing”. The first part of the book is pre-accident, the final part is during his recuperation. Two different attitudes. I didn't know he was practically falling down drunk while writing many of his books.

Thanks for the suggestions. Louis Lamour’s Autobiography, “Education of a Wandering Man” is on my list to find and read. I am not a Steven King fan. I have only read Christine and The Stand. I will see if the library has his bio, but the Lamour I want to buy. I have had other recommendations about it.
