I want to find something new to read, I love autobiogs.

Mine (off the top of my head, after not too much thought)

Biography of Gayatri Devi (last Maharani of Jaipur) - a brilliant story about a rich Maharani and her life pre war.

Chance Witness by Matthew Parris - I would not normally say I would rate the autobiography of a Tory boy but this is brilliant, he is really engaging and has lived a fascinating life.

Hons and Rebels by Jessica Mitford - it's just so funny. Also, whislt not strictly an autobiog, The Letters of Decca Mitford is brilliant as well.

Ricky by Ricky Tomlinson - not normally my cup of tea, would not choose a sleb autobiography, but he is very honest about his ups and downs and being imprisoned as a political prisoner in the 70s.

I read Christabel as non-fiction for English A Level - was a lazy teacher who wanted to align with the Dennis Potter TV Miniseries at the time starring none other than La Hurley before That Dress Shock

@DeepLeafEverything

Can we get this thread moved to books? It's really full of useful stuff.

Oops. That was why I was here....
Yes, of course. Grin
