Hughes: The Private Diaries, Memos and Letters : The Definitive Biography of the First American Billionaire by Richard Hack
During a brief IM chat wherein the subject of weirdos came up, Tommy recommended this book to me, and I promptly ordered it from Amazon. But that was MONTHS ago. I can't believe how long it took me to finish it. It should have been a zip, because it was very interesting and an easy read. Life just gets complicated sometimes, I guess.
My only real criticism of this book is how rife with typographical errors it is. For a book about a famously neurotic weirdo...well, it just struck me as ironic. But despite my urge to red pen the thing as I went, it was entertaining and informative. And it really made me want to brush my teeth.
