Well, I don't read *nothing* but biographies, but a big part of *my*
being very 'busy with my own life' is the time i spend reading about
dead 'celebrities' (I find that, aside from performing the very useful
task of serving as a form of 'memento mori', this helps me with *my*
celebration of life).

P.S. The term 'celebrities' is marked with 'scare quotes' because those
I file under that rubric are not necessarily found in the lists of
those assigned the label by the purveyors of popular culture. See my
postings 'Historic days 1 & 2' for cases in point.
