Just seeing Kennedy's face on this cover makes me feel sad. And when I'm sad, I want to read. If you're looking to read more about Senator Edward Kennedy, you have plenty of options.

Shelf Awareness has a list of Ted Kennedy bios, all published this year:

Ted Kennedy: The Dream That Never Died by Edward Klein.
The Last Lion: The Fall and Rise of Ted Kennedy
by the Boston Globe, edited by Peter S. Canellos.
The Kennedy Legacy: Jack, Bobby and Ted and a Family Dream Fulfilled by Vincent Bzdek.
Ted Kennedy: Scenes from an Epic Life by the Boston Globe.

His memoir, True Compass, compiled by Ron Powers from interviews with Kennedy, comes out September 14.

Tom over at Omnivoracious also has a comprehensive roundup of books by and about Kennedy, including the The Last Brother by Joe McGuinness and Blue Smoke and Mirrors, about the 1980 Democratic presidential primary.
