Taylor Branch

I have many reading goals in life, one of them, which I will do someday (!) is to read Taylor Branch's trilogy on the life on Martin Luther King Jr. At several hundred pages apiece, it will be quite the feat. But those I know who've read them say that it is well worth the effort.

The last book of the trilogy is Canaan's Edge: America in the King Years, 1965-1968 and has been nominated for several awards including the National Book Critics Circle Award for biography.

The Circle's blog, Criticial Mass, has a great summary of the book as well as links to several reviews.
