Can anyone recommend some good autobiographies?

Muchos thankos

 

not read many but..

Frank Skinner's book was quite good - a few years old now, but a really good read.</p>

don't bother with Peter Kay's unless you really like him, just a regurgitation of his tv work / reflection of how his life made the shows, kind of thing..</p>

I'm going to get Gordon Ramsay's book, been told that's good.</p>

 

Brian Clough. nt

 

Shane Warne

quite old now but really really interesting and the man is a true legend despite his nationality

 

Russell Simmons (Def Jam) Can't think of name though...also

Quentin Tarantino</p>

Peter Kay</p>

Vic Reeves</p>

 

RE: not read many but..

cheers read frank skinners - well funny

i liked the "its a business doing pleasure with you" line!

 

Chris Moyles...........

autobiography was awesome. He writes about a paragraph about his childhood and says if anyone wants to know more they are pervs. Slags off a few celebrities as well.

 

Anthony Keidis

From Chili Peppers.....top read (y)

 

aye....

plus the bucket of p*ss story and the bloke on the terraces were particular favourites...</p>

currently reading Stephen Fry's autobiog - could be a bit challenging this one!</p>

 

both redders and lars lee's have writen good autbiography's if you havn't already read them

 

Cloughie / A Ferguson / G Ramsay / Moyles / Executioner Pierrepoint

Although I am currently ploughing through a quite good (though exceedingly biased) BIOGRAPHY on Douglas Haig (An Educated Soldier). (zzz)

 

Yep, I'll vouch for Gordon Ramsey's nt

 

Oh, and I'm halfway through the Jigsaw Man at the mo. nt

 

Didnt think

fergies was that good to be honest

 

Non Football

David Niven - "Bring on the Empty Horses"

 

Disagree

...... if anything it was a bit self-congratulatory in parts, but nowhere near as much as Briam Lara's was. Cover to cover, me me me me ......... with occasional pauses to mention how bitter and twisted he was about Shaka Hislop getting loadsa dosh as a footballer.

 

ain't read laras so cant comment

the graft by martina cole.............its probably the best fiction book ive read in a long time

 

Not strictly speaking an autobiography...

But David Peace's &quot;The Damned United&quot; about Cloughies 44 days at Elland Road is superb - a &quot;one sitting&quot; read.

 

Chris Eubank

As expected, a few drop the book onto your lap with your mouth open moments. Enjoyed it more than I thought I would.

 

steve gerrards is good
