Recommend A Good Auto Biography For Me To Read Please.

[Janus 28]

Sorry if I am posting in the wrong section. I figured this is the nearest to my request. 

 

I am currently reading one by Simon Weston. I picked it up for about 50p from a charity shop a while back. 

Not been reading it very long. I'm about half way through, so it must be kind of ok. Childhood to just before joining the army  was a tedious section. Getting better now the action is about to start.

Was thinking about Richard Branson's AB next?

Certainly I would welcome any that others can recommend please.

 

 Thank  you.

If you want a good laugh, John Cleese's AB is on Audible.

 

The man's a comedy genius!

I read that Richard Branson is dislexic, but I’m sure that won’t stop him employing a ghost writer !

I have always perceived him to be a 'very possitive thinking person', that is the spirit for success. 😉

The most fascinating A B I've ever read was 'The Lonely Sea and the Sky' by SirFrancis Chichester.  This man was also an aviator who flew round the world in a battered Tiger Moth before sailing around it.  It's hard to believe some of the daring exploits some people have lived through and I found this book very hard to put down.

Sailing Alone Around the World by Joshua Slocum is written in a very easy style and is part diary about being the first person to sail single-handedly around the world and part AB. 

Slocum ran away to the sea at 14 and ended up sailing with President Roosevelt.
