Famous

I guess one way to tell if someone is REALLY famous is if they have a Who Was/Is book written about them!  This time I read about Laura Ingalls Wilder, which I didn't enjoy at all.  I didn't like the use of "Indian" and I also just find LIW to be so not my thing, so it was hard to get through this one.  I appreciate that the Little House books address the stories of Native Americans in the books on their website.  But man...I don't know.  Check out that link.  It's important.
I also read Who Is Bob Dylan?  Now I don't like Mr. Dylan that much at all.  I mean, after reading the book.  What I did like was that the author didn't hold back from the reader, you know?  We were told about the crappy way that Dylan treated people.  So I gave this book 5 stars, but the Wilder one only 1 star because it didn't mention the Native American component at all.  Does that make sense?  This happened after the Dylan book was published. The jerkery continues!
I then moved on to Frida Kahlo and I knew about her from my art history classes in college and also from the movie.  Fascinating and super talented woman.
Next was Claude Monet and I knew a lot about him and I am so impressed by this whole series at this point!  Except for the LIW stuff.  Picasso was next.  And I loved that the author didn't do what the LIW book's author did and sugar coat the darker side of Picasso.  Next was Maria Tallchief.  I knew her name and am embarrassed to say, I didn't know anything else.  The last artist Who Was I read was about Andy Warhol.  I really enjoyed this one, not just because he was from Pittsburgh, but just because he was an interesting man.
