Best autobiography you have read

[newnameagain1976]

Im going to try and read more this year. I enjoy autobiographies. Can anyone recommend a good one please?

I haven’t listened to/read that many at all, but I really enjoyed ‘Let It Go’ by Dame Stephanie Shirley. An inspiring female IT pioneer.

Not something I read often but Joan Collins was good .

Jane Fonda's autobiography is absolutely fascinating. She's had several lives in one and she's very honest about her mistakes and struggles. I read it 15 years ago and I still think of her words of wisdom sometimes.

I really enjoyed Toast (Nigel Slater) and Paul O'Grady

Bruce Springsteen’s was terrific. It was searingly honest and I loved it.
I’ve found Fiona Hill’s memoir fascinating too. It’s called There’s nothing for you here. She is from County Durham and
was Trumps Russia advisor and testified at his first impeachment.

The Kindness of Strangers - Kate Adie

Just putting this message here, so I can find this thread again later.

I’m reading her books at the moment. I’ve really enjoyed them. She comes across as such a lovely lady. Yes she is privileged, but she’s really had to go through some awful times.

I was wondering 🤔

Becoming by Michelle Obama. I didn't expect to like it as much as I did. She really brought the reader into her life and made it come alive. Well written by a strong and intelligent woman who's had an interesting life.

Verse, Chorus, Monster by Graham Coxon of blur - he's done a surprising amount of stuff.

Currently reading An Education by Lynn Barber. Funny , interesting, unsentimental.

Wild by Cheryl Strayed

The Life and Times of the Thunderbolt kid by Bill Bryson. About his childhood and teenage years. Very funny and also interesting stuff about 50s America.

I’ve enjoyed Kathy Burke’s book recently
