Do you love read autobiographies - I do!
my new year’s resolution is to read more autobiographies.
so I have just finished Matthew Perry. Feeling a bit sad as I read it after he died. He finished the book full of hope to beat his addiction and find a life partner. So sad.

next is Kathy Burke.

so which ones are you reading?

Not a celebrity and may have been mentioned already but Wavewalker is the most incredible autobiography, and in audio is narrated by Suzanne Haywood.

This sounds fascinating.

I have recently bought Poor by Katriona O’ Sullivan after multiple recommendations.
Anybody else read this?
Seems great so far.

I enjoyed Robert Frasers book very much, I'm intrigued with that particular era of The Stones and of course he was a huge part of that scene,
I'm.so pleased to see someone else has read it!

Yes I’m fascinated with that era and all the things that crashed together and changed forever.
People speak so thoughtfully and without self-consciousness and are comfortable with complexity and contradiction which I really enjoyed… and it’s quite juicy!
It’s by Harriet Vyner if anyone here likes the sound of it and wants to find it.
