    I love autobiographies but some have been a disappointment and not lived up to expectations.

    Those I have read recently are Fern Britton, Lorraine Kelly, Christopher Biggins and Richard Madeley and I enjoyed them all.
    I bought Julie Walters on Ebay so am hoping it will be good.

    I just finished reading John Barrowmans and afraid it was disappointing.

    Recently read Greame Obree, Flying Sotsman. Also read Colin Macrae a few years ago and a couple of Jackie Stewart books. Kenny Dalglish, Alex Ferguson, Jim Maclean. Like to read about people that have actually achieved something, not some fly by night so called celebrity who are either looking to relight a career or add a few bob to their coffers.
    As you slide down the bannister of life, may all the skelfs be pointing the right way.

    Have to agree with Camor, Graeme Obree's bio is excellent

    Frank Abagnale's 'Catch me if you Can' and Sonny Barger's Hell's Angels bio, both highly recommended reading

    Cancer Research in Thurso always has some good bios for sale on the top shelf

    The Dirt , Motley Crue; Confessions of the worlds most notorious rock band.

    An eye opening read about sex, drugs and rock and roll but NOT for the easily offended PC brigade...

    Lance Armstrong, It's not about the bike: my journey back to life.

    The most moving, inspirational book you will ever read. What an example of how life should be lived!

    One of my favourite autobiographies/memoirs was first published in 2004 and written by an unknown Irish woman called Maura ...Don't Wake me at Doyles
    An ordinary woman tells her extraordinary story......worth a read.

    That sounds really good. Must have a search online.
