I love David McCullough's "Truman" and "John Adams"--he is a great writer.

1. No Ordinary Time

by Doris Kearns Goodwin (about FDR), also McCullough's Truman, like you said. Both great reads.

fictionalized Lincoln.

4. "An Unfinished Life - by Robert Dallek

also,

"A Hero For Our Time" by Ralph G. Martin

These are excellent biographies of President Kennedy. If I have a few hours alone and can't think of what to do, I often sit down with one of these excellent books and wonder what it would be like to have an inspirational leader in America.

5. The personal memoirs of Ulysses S Grant

If you haven't read it then you really need to.
