Default Autobiographies - Best and Worst

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!

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!

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.

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.

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!
