I love the things. I'll read about anyone

Which is the best and worst you have read?

Best - Tempted to say Peter Kay but it's more of a sketch than his actual life. But it is very funny. For now I'm going with Russell Brand's My Booky Wook

Worst - Jodie Marsh. It's just a who she's shagged list with a load of self pity thrown in

Me too kerry.. LOVED Booky Wook and am dying to read the 2nd one! Plus I remember literally crying with laughter at Peter Kay's on about page2!

Ihave Stephen Fry's upstairs waiting to be read plus I really want to read Ranulph Fiennes'

Who am I thinking of that I want to read that's written his in several volumes?? Oh it's annoying me, as I know it would be a good read!

The only autobiography I've ever read was Sharon Osbourne's and that was five or six years ago, I remember liking it at the time, not sure if I would like it now.

Paul O'Grady is doing his in parts but then again it seems to be the latest trend to do so

No, no.. not him. (although I reckon his would be an eye opener)

I'm sure it's somebody older, more famous and very interesting..

Aaargh! I wish I could remember!

Is it likely to be recent? You could check Google - Amazon/WH Smiths autobiog section?

I don't read many. The only one that springs to mind is Stephen Fry's "Moab is My Washpot" which I loved - full of strange little private school anecdotes and found a lot of it really relatable.

ive only read two and enjoyed both the 1st one was carol mcgiffins it was a bit like reading about my own childhood. the next one was paul ogradys sure he must b bringing another one out. the 1st one @ the end made u buy the 2nd one as it was left on a huge cliffhanger like an eastenders duff duff! ive got danni minogues to read but havent found the time yet.

I'm not really into Autobiographies, I'd have to be really interested in the person to read one. I did read Russell Brands Booky Wook though and loved it!
