Autobiography/biography recommendations

After finishing The Road to Lichfield last night, this morning I started reading Michelle Obama's Becoming which a friend has recently passed on to me.

I'm only thirty or so pages in but am enjoying it very much. I don't usually go for autobiographies or biographies but wondered if you had any strong recommendations?

Just finished 'Hungry' by Grace Dent. Really enjoyed it, she writes well and an easy read.

Thank you both.

60's rocker's muse sounds interesting indeed, Twawmyarse, (😉at your name!) as does the title of your second suggestion, Norstrom.

Any others?

If you fancy reading a bit about the swinging 60's and being a rockers muse I highly recommend both Faithless - Marianne Faithfulls autobiography and also Wonderful Today by Patti Boyd - they're both fantastic and extremely interesting.
