BIOGRAPHIES/ AUTOBIOGRAPHIES.

[Georgiesmum]

I love biographies and autobiographies., and i have read quite a few.Can anyone recommend any really good ones that i might have missed please?Two that come to mind that i really enjoyed were Jim Davidson and Norman Wisdom.

The Moon's a Balloon' and the sequel 'Bring on the Empty Horses' by David Niven are classics (and therefore probably read by you!). Both capture the humour of the man. Not read any autobiographies lately which are anywhere near as good.

Bob Monkhouse Crying with Laughter.

Both DavidNiven,especially the Moons a balloon, had me crying so funny.

Francis Wheen: Karl Marx. (1999)

No, honestly, it is a very good read.

STAY AWAY from Michael Caine. Total tosh - nothing but name dropping - the great I AM.

[Dee Sa]

I read the latest Barbara Marx/Sinatra tell all biography it too was all name dropping and rubbish skip this one.

I liked Michael Parkinsons book, funny, quite sad in parts, but very interesting.

[Dee Sa]

maggie re Michael Caine - " not many people know that" his famous quote !

[emmie]

Charles Dickens by Peter Ackroyd is excellent, it's a long read, but he had such an amazing life.

[parkie]

I found Roy Castle's an inspiring read.

[Georgiesmum]

Thank you all very much. I have made a note of all these books., many thanks.

I quite enjoyed Chris Evans's (he's got two out)
Quite a ballsy guy really good read.

Any autobiographies by Kitty Kelly. She writes about the stars, American stars and boy she gets down to the nitty gritty!!

[Sir Alec]

Sir Alec Guinness:
Blessings in Disguise
My Name Escapes Me
A Positively Final Appearance
All very good reads.

[Georgiesmum]

Thank you all very much. Iread the first chris Evans book and i really enjoyed it. Ive now got his second book. I havent tackled that one yet.
Ive got "The Royals by Kitty Kelly. I didnt kbow she had written any other books, will have to investigate that one. ! Thanks for your help everyone.

I agree David Nivens 'The Moons a Balloon' and Bring on the Empty Horses' were a good read. I was disappointed with Peter Ustinov's book can't remember its title but I didn't reach the end of it. I didn't enjoy Tom Jones book either.
