can any one tell me any good books to read

'Wild Swans' is an interesting autob so are the 2 by Adeline Yen Mah.

I've read 3 but really enjoyed them

Measure of a Man - Sydney Poitier

Lucky Man - Michael J Fox

Don't know if it's biographical but I think it's her mother's story, Joy Luck Club - Amy Tan

Mao's Last Dancer by Li Cunxin is a fascinating read.

I read and enjoyed Margaret Whitlam's biography, written by Susan Mitchell is another I enjoyed.

I've not read it but was 'Memoirs of a Geisha' a bio?

No, it is fiction/lit.

One that jumps out to me was the Stuart Diver autobiography. He was the guy who survived the Thredbo landslide... such a powerful read and an amazing guy!

I read the Bob Geldoff autobio years ago and realy enjoyed it even though I'd never really been a fan.

Schapelle Corby's really made me sympathise with her and other prisoners in foreign gaols - scary stuff.

I read 'Call Me Elizabeth' recently - sorry can't remember the author but supposed to be a semi-fictionalised recount of the life of a suburban UK mum/ prostitute. A really interesting read even if I didn't agree with her rationale for her choices.

I really enjoy bio / autobio and have read lots of great inspirational ones and a few cruddy yawns (Princess Di type ones would be an example of a waste of time IMO).
