Don't bother with Frank Bruno's or Vinnie Jones' - absolute pap.


I read Lenny MacLean's and that was quite interesting.

But if you read about Dale Winton, then you're probably not interested anyway!

Question Author

Im interested in all sorts of people, Dales was bought for me as a Christmas Prezzie, Im hoping theres one by Tim Wonnacott

Julian Clary autobiography is ever so good. I don't usually like bios and was quite amused when i received this one as a present but I really, really enjoyed it! I especially love diaries and letter compilations- especially Kenneth Williams, Kingsley Amis and Dylan Thomas.
Michael J Fox's autobiography called "Lucky Man" is very good. He talks about his life up to and since being diagnosed with Parkinsons Disease - I found it fascinating.

Bob Geldof's 'is that it? is a book I really enjoyed. Jenny Pitman's is a good read.


fact of the day. I share my birthday with Thora Hird and Kylie Minogue. Kylie is two years younger...

Maureen O'Hara, Tis herself
If I don't write it, nobody else will - Eric Sykes. A proper auto biog by someone who is old enough to have had a (very interesting) life. A very good read.

Mother Terisa - not a biography. (It would have been profane to have done so and not allowed by the Order)


A Spanish writer has published a few books about her.(Cant remember his name though).An incredible lady.


Diana's book and Paul Burrels book also indicate there connection with this Great lady who's death was overshadowed by Diana's.When Paul Burrel went to Paris to prepare Dianas body to come home he dressed her in her favorite gown and placed a rosery/crucifix in her hand that the great lady gave her.All three books tie in.

Nelson Mandella, Tony Benn,

John Peel.


"Tragically I was an Only Twin" - biography of Peter Cook, called by Stephen Fry "the funniest man who ever drew breath"


http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/0099443252/026-2084206-2306011


Sorry !!! It's not a biography, still a very funny book.


Question Author
thanks for all those Ill enjoy them Im sure
daniella westbrooks is a good but also horrific read, keith moons my darling boy is very good, jim morrision no one gets out alive, and sharon osbourne.
Forget You had a daughter..by a woman who was jailed in Thailand for drug smuggling. The book is so good you'd want to read it all at once. Excellent biography of what happened to her, and the things that happened in lard yao prison in Thailand.

Rolf Harris :can you guess what it is yet: is a good read

I read "forget you had a daughter" recently , and I'm afaid o say i htought it wa a bit, well ull, no not dull exatly,but it's not exactly great literature. it's ok I suppose, but I certinly wouldnt recommend it to anyone. (sorry nancie ) I read Kenneth Williams auto biography a few years back, that was good, considering I had had no previous interest in the man, it still held my attention.
Depends on your interests but ones I found good in particular were (Like you) Stephen Fry which is fantastic, RIcky Tomlinson (written with wonderful wit), Tony Adams and Boy George.

barbara windsors was really good as was norman wisdom.


sharon osbourne and george best was ok
