Good Biographies/Autobiographies
« on: February 10, 2005, 03:53:59 pm »
Okay so in my English class we're all required to pick an autobiography or biography to read.  I've been searching around but can't really seem to find anything...anyone have a recommendation or any ideas?  It's supposed to be ninth-grade level and it can't be about a singer/movie star/sports star/celebrity.  Any help would be reeeeeeally appreciated. :D

Rosemary Clooney's autobiography is awesome.

I really want to read Anthony Kiedis's autobiography. <3 The Red Hot Chili Peppers

What? I can't believe you celebrity obsessed people! There are tons of (auto)biographies by interesting people who have done and achieved far more than any celebrity ever has (i.e. something).

But I won't name any because I'd rather not help vt with her homework.

I'm partial to the Steven Spielberg biography.  I read it senior year of highschool.  Excellent life story.

Zlata's Diary ...

I don't know if it counts as an autobiography, but this little girl wrote a journal during the Bosnian war...
