One of the best read you can have!
Right now I am readin Graham Greene autobio. which has also a lot of charm.
I was not sure if he wrote it in Lausanne or Geneve, but after reading the post down below well Oregon...

Robert Caro's Lyndon Johnson biography- Master of the Senate. May or may not hold any interest for Europeans, but Caro is a fastidious chronicler, in this case of a man whose person was far more 'grey' than black and white, and, also, of a certain political period in American history. Interesting read, and in the end will be 4 (large!) volumes.
Frankly, way more 'Lyndon Johnson' than I need, but once I start, I feel an obligation to finish.
Far more grey than B & W...I like that.
As for finishing what have start to read, I know this feeling, awful, I resent the same, even if I crooked myself then, not reading very carefully and speeding as much I can..
There are very few books that I put away, closing them for ever..
We may be both wrong having too much respect of the written word..
