Autobiography Recommendations

I just read Peter Crushings autobiography. While a little sparse on mentions of his film work it is still a well crafted read.



Recommendations for more?

Russell Brand-My Booky Wook (witty, humourous)
Stephen Fry-Moab Is My Washpot (witty, humourous, probably the best one I read)

Marlon Brando-Songs My Mother Taught Me
Clara Kramer-Clara's War (story of a girl hiding in a bunker during the war)
Constance Briscoe-Ugly (a girl's suffering at the hands of her mother and co.)

Peter Hook-Unknown Pleasures (story of Joy Division)
Eamon Dunphy-Only A Game?
Archibald Hall-The Wicked Mr Hall (story of a serial killer and someone who enjoyed the finer things in life when not killing!)

Andre Agassi-Open
Monica Seles-Getting A Grip (probably the best tennis one I read)
Jimmy Connors-The Outsider

Thanks for that. I got the Frank Skinner book when released. I enjoyed it though I think my mother got more out of it, she was going around with a gleam in her eye retelling me portions of it. Out of the books you listed I'll probably go for the Monica Seles book first.

I'm reading one by Jim Hutton at the moment. The partner of Queen frontman, Freddie Mercury. A Carlow man, he was with him up to the end. I'm enjoying finding out how Freddie spent his money the most, the house's .ect
