Recommend me a good autobiography

[Phil Dicky]

Im fed up of reading crime thrillers etc and fancy a good autobiograhy....just finished Perry McCarthey's, can anyone suggest another couple?

Bill bryson - the life and times of the thunderbolt kid, his account of growing up in sixties America, absolutely brilliant and one of the few books I can re read time after time.

David Niven's is superb- the moon's a balloon. I also recently enjoyed Roger Moore's- My word is my Bond (see what he did there).

For me though, the daddy of all autobiographies is Ranulph Fiennes- Mad, Bad & Dangerous to Know.

Slash from Guns N Roses.
A great read, if you like that sort of thing.

Why autobiographies?

How about normal biographies? Just pick a name from history and away you go.

Most autobiographies are by movie stars etc.

If you must have an autobiography you could do a lot worse than 'Dear Me' bt Peter Ustinov.

Cheers folks keep your ideas coming.

Not strictly an autobiography but Inspired by Steve Redgrave is an interesting read.

Or 'Bernie's Game', a biog and not tremendously well written but interesting. Charts his rise to F1 domination. By Terry Lovell.

Has some good descriptions of the pain that professional athletes feel when on the limit.
