My Alphabetical Biography List: Eiffel, Gustav - engineer
It was only a matter of time before I got to a boring biography. I'm not sure if it was Monseiur Eiffel, the author, or the engineering that made the book so boring, but I would guess it was a combination. But I did learn all about bridges and iron and steel. And after I was done my mother found a family history thing that said that my great-great-grandfather's family worked in the foundry where the iron for the Eiffel Tower came from, which I guess is a good claim to fame.

we are very famous.
and yes, some of these biographies are very boring. i think marie curie was the worst one for me.
But Gustav's a cool name; you'd think it'd be a cool book.
it is; but it's really not
Wait -- isn't Gustav one of your names??
well, yes. thus it's cool.
But it sounds so interesting...
i was trying to expand my horizons. i think they're expanded enough now.
