What's your favorite memoir or autobiography?

I've read quite a few over the years but don't know if I have a favourite.

A couple of weeks ago I finished a biography called "One Crowded Hour" about Australian war cameraman, Neil Davis, which was absolutely inspiring.

So also was "A Man Called Intrepid" which tells the story of Sir William Stevenson, a man so incredible that he belongs in fiction rather than in the real world. Without Stevenson (who worked very closely with Churchill and FDR) WWII might have taken a very different direction.

"SOUND, sound the clarion, fill the fife!
Throughout the sensual world proclaim,
One crowded hour of glorious life
Is worth an age without a name"

Dear Roy Roy,

In 1985, I read THE AUTOBIOGRAPHY OF A YOGI, by Paramahansa Yogananda...for the difference a book has made in my life, that is one of the top ten.

A memoir is DAUGHTER OF FIRE, by Irina Tweedie...her training with a Sufi master in India...I have read it more than nine times, but stopped counting at nine...

Also on this top ten list is THE AUTOBIOGRAPHY OF MALCOLM X, with Alex Haley.

My Wicked Wicked Ways by Errol Flynn. Great book. How Hollywood destroyed a wonderful man.
