Which historical figure do you find interesting?

My father found Adolf Hitler's life interesting to read about.
I like to read about Abraham Lincoln's life.

I find Abraham Lincoln's life interesting too; saw the movie Lincoln a couple of years ago.

Eleanor Roosevelt has always fascinated me, a great lady in my humble opinion.

Here is one of her many quotes.

"You wouldn't worry so much about what others think of you if you realized how seldom they do.”
― Eleanor Roosevelt

Thomas Jefferson is one that I'm interested in. We went to his home, Monticello, several years ago. A very interesting place.

 

[GeorgiaXplant]

Hm. I'm in the Eleanor Roosevelt camp, too. I didn't know anybody else ever gave her a thought. Maybe it's our generation...

Jesus.

I like to read biographies. I am currently reading about Steve Jobs and I bought another book of pictures that follows the Diary of Anne Frank.

fascinating.. and really awesome..!

It would have to be one of the great engineers/scientists - probably Michael Faraday.

Another Eleanor Roosevelt fan here, I read a lot of Bios and Autobios too, mainly politicians and celebrities that interest me.

 

[Justme]

I don't know about interesting, but my family, on my father's side, are apparently related to a historical figure who rescued an English king a few centuries ago.

 

[Ruth]

Jesus

 

[Kaya]

Jesus

 

[Justme]

I wonder if the guy was actually historical?

 

[Kaya]

Of course he was/is.

 

[Meanderer]

I wonder if the guy was actually historical?

What guy is that?

 

[Kaya]

Jesus, meanderer.

 

[Meanderer]

Oh,that Guy...He was a King on His Father's side, who rescued many of us!

Sign me on the big bio reader list. I don't have a historical figure picked just yet.

 

[Meanderer]

I'd have to say Jesus, as well!

 

[Justme]

What guy is that?

The guy Jesus who has so many fantastical stories made up about him!

 

[Kaya]

Made up?
