The reality of living in New England during the winter is
that it is very cold and snowy. Why not escape that reality, stay indoors, and
read about other people’s lives?
Here are some of the PSG staff’s favorite biographies and
autobiographies.
·
One of Kate’s
top choices is Mindy Kaling’s Why is
Everyone Hanging Out Without Me? Kaling narrates how she started her
writing career and gives behind the scenes information about her time on the US
television series The Office. She also
recommends Loung Ung’s First They Killed
My Father for a more serious reading experience.

Colleen
has a rule that she will not reread books; however, Into the Wild by Jon Krakauer is the exception to
that rule. She found Midnight Riders: The Story of the Allman Brothers Band to be another fascinating read.
·
Melina fell in love with To Selena, With Love by Chris Pérez. The book
is Pérez’s reflection on his relationship with Mexican-American singer Selena
Quintanilla.
·
Nora likes to read about the lives of writers. Her favorite book is Brown
Girl Dreaming by Jacqueline Woodson. Also, both she and Melina agree
Stephen King’s memoir On Writing deserves another blog shout-out.

Tess has
always admired Audrey Hepburn, so any biography about her will find its way on
her reading list. She also loved reading about Natalie Wood’s background in Natalie Wood: A Life by Gavin Lambert.
