Biographies

Heroin Diaries was amazing.

Born Standing Up: A Comic's Life was good; it's Steve Martin.

Maybe not really autobiographical, but I liked The Salmon of Doubt, which was Douglas Adams. It's some posthumous collection of previously unreleased articles/short stories, as well as his musings on life.

Geisha of Gion was written by the woman Memoirs of a Geisha was based off of. They took some liberties with her life story, so she wrote about her own life to clear it up. Might be more of a chick's book but I found it fascinating.

The next book I want to read is Kitchen Confessionals; I'm a culinary graduate so things like this interest me, and ALSO Anthony Bourdain is just awesome. I love him.

Really loved Scar Tissue by Anthony Kiedis of RHCP. Devoured it in a single setting and re-read it a few months later, it's an excellent read if you're a fan of the band or remotely interesting in rock star biographies/the music business/drug addiction.

Stalin: Court of the red Tsar is a pretty good read.

Also, not sure if it counts as a biography, but The Right Stuff by Tom Wolfe is a great read about the early days of manned space flight.
