Camera Man by Dana Stevens
Camera Man is a Buster Keaton biography in which Dana Stevens tries to place Buster in the context of his times. In some cases, it was interesting to learn what was going on around Keaton. But most of the time I just wish Stevens would tell more about Keaton. In a lot of cases descriptions and stories about the films Keaton made were cursory and I don't feel I received a lot of insight about the man that I didn't already know.
If you don't much about the life of Keaton, it is a pretty good primer. But you have to go through a lot of extraneous information to get it.

As a matter of fact, my anger does keep me warm
