Branson's was OK IIRC. While since I read it.

There's a book called "Can any mother help me" by Jenna Bailey, if you like to read about people's lives. It's a collection of letters, sent between a group of women and it's a bit like Mumsnet before the internet! V.V. good.

The Moons a Balloon - David Niven
Any of Clive James's are very funny
John Peels, very moving.

'The Autobiography of Malcolm X' was one of the most compelling books I ever read.
