If I said YES, would you say it's your favourite?Kristatos wrote:Does Clive James's Unreliable Memoirs count? James himself describes it as "a novel masquerading as an autobiography".
My personal favourite is 'Keane' refering to the one and only Roy Keane. Very honest, brutal at times and extremely interesting if you like that sort of thing.

The subject is autobiographies, not plain vanilla biographies.carl stromberg wrote:Harry Thompson wrote two of my favourites - of Herge, and Peter Cook. He (Thompson) sadly died at quite a young age.
Enoch Powell's bio of Joseph Chamberlain is also a favourite. "All political careers end in faliure", the author said.

I'd say it's a toss-up between that and No Blacks, No Irish, No Dogs by John Lydon.Skywalker wrote:If I said YES, would you say it's your favourite?Kristatos wrote:Does Clive James's Unreliable Memoirs count? James himself describes it as "a novel masquerading as an autobiography".

I've been meaning to read the Alistair Campbell Blair years diaries; I watched the TV program on them.Skywalker wrote:I recently read 'Blair'. I was amazed at how close Tony and GB actually were, before the labour leadership. For anyone interested in politics, I would recommend this book.
Admittedly, diaries are off-topic.

Re: Favourite Autobiography
I've always wanted to read 'When the snow melts'
Anyone ever read it?
Or have any tips on how I could get a copy?
