I've been reading a lot more biographies these past few weeks than I used to. David McCullough is an amazing writer. And even beyond that I'm developing an appreciation for history with such a narrow focus. My TBR list has expanded with a bunch of biographies.

I thought that was a pretty good line myself. :-) Wasn't it Mark Twain who said something along the lines of "Fiction has one sole requirement over reality; it must be realistic." or was that Hemingway? Some cogent American, anyway.
