100 Great Modern Lives
Just finished reading an exhausting "100 Great Modern Lives" a book about profiles of 100 great persons in the 19th century, qualification being they should have been born in that century. It includes profiles of people like Charles Dickens, Richard Wagner, Dostoevsky, Van Gogh, Gandhi, Chaplin, James Joyce among others. It was like 100 biographies and to that extent a very inspiring book and a collector's item. I love to read biographies of eminent persons, scientists, artists, sportspersons, achievers and this book fulfils my dream.
