Can anyone recommend any good inspiring autobiographies that I can listen to as an audiobook?

Both of Michelle Obama’s were fantastic, Barack’s too but it’s very long.

My favourite is Robert Graves’ Goodbye to all That. In fact, it’s one of my favourite books, full stop.

Isn’t Virginia Woolf’s A Room of One’s Own a sort of feminist autobiography? I’ve always meant to read it.

I loved Roald Dahl’s Boy and also Stephen Fry’s Moab is my Washpot. David Niven wrote a wonderful autobiography called The Moon’s a Balloon, and I think Douglas Adams wrote one as well.

I loved Brian Blessed’s autobiography. I have the audiobook version, which he reads himself. Very funny and inspiring. The chapter on Peter O’ Toole is fascinating.

Thank you I'll browse these. Have started Michelle Obama, it's very good so far

I enjoyed Matthew Perry's, which I read when it came out.

I bought Johannes Radebe's autobiography for my mum for Christmas and she also bought it for me, totally unplanned!
We are just starting to read it now.

Ade Edmondson’s was great as was Fern Brady’s.

My friends very much surprised me by raving about Andre Agassi's. Zero interest in tennis but said it was amazing.
