Robert Skidelsky has completed his biography of Keynes. Here's a review.
Edited to add: Eeesh, Doc! I might read that, were it not formatted in such horrible 1994-Web style -- monospace, red type on blue background... I'll go blind! And I already need glasses!

You guys have the oddest text settings for your web browsers.
Mine's standard white on black.
Mr. Fish: I regret to inform you I am still bogged down. However, I have the weekend coming up and I shall make productive use of it! (After all, I'm already halfway through the Wind in the Willows )

I would be remiss if I didn't mention that Linda McQuaig's books, especially The Cult of Impotence, are excellent general primers on Keynesian economics.
Paul Krugman is also a noted Keynesian (but he's a free trader, so bleah).
Finally, if the good sherpafish would peek at the ISBN number for the Keynes for Beginners book I lent him, I would recommend that one as well.

Browser settings. But of course!
Still, reading books on-line ain't the McCoy, especially in plain (monospaced) text. I'll read him the old-fashioned way, if it's all the same to you, Doc.

Bah, you two are spoiled. Why, in MY day we had to read text on 9-inch green-screen monitors!
