Well, mostly, some readers like biographies because it's they're style of reading. For example, most readers like chapter books, or graphic novals. But biographies usually tell about that person, or something they did that made a huge change in life. And they might also inspire them, to keep reading, or on their quote.

So, some readers like biographies because they might like learning about other's lifestyle, and to inspire.

Hope this helps---Aparri

Biographies are "true to life."
People read them to find out how individuals have shaped the way we think or act or enjoy sports or influenced us greatly. Biographies are interesting to read whether you are interested in Mickey Mantle, Babe Ruth, Wayne Gretzky or Joseph Stalin. All of these people and so many others have shaped the way we look at the world.

Biographies represent people who have done things -- even small things.

Some biographies are of people who shaped the way we think. I'm thinking of someone like Dwight Eisenhower who shaped the way Americans look at war and defense and big industry.

Some like Paul or Jesus shape the way we govern moral behavior.

Some like Hitler or Stalin should lead us to utter "never again."
