Autobiographies

I've read "Educated" and "Bad Blood", also Keith Richards. I was given the following, Patty Boyd's which gave a good insight into the 1960s when she was right at the beating heart of that. a favourite decade of mine, the late Clarissa Dixon-Wright's which I quite enjoyed a contemporary of Patty Boyd's, how different they were! and Barbara Hulaniki founder of Biba, one of my friends sourced that one and sent it to me one birthday to remind me of how we mainly window shopped in her flagship store when we were 17 or 18, haven't read any heavy weight ones or politicians' memoirs.

I've read more biographies than autos, Two I really enjoyed were "The Unequalled Self" Claire Tomalin on Samuel Pepys, fascinating! and Margaret Forster's of Daphne Du Maurier. Plus numerous ones on Dickens, Hardy, Queen Victoria, Georgiana Duchess of Devonshire, Mary Shelley, Byron various Tudor and Stuart kings and queens, plus interesting people from history. I can't imagine picking up an autobiography on any of the current crop of non entities z listers, footballers, ghost written and usually produced to prop up a flagging career.
