| Hi, I quite like reading all different people's biographies or autobiographies. I've just read Clarissa Dickon-Wright's (courtesy of the book swap with Matilda's Mum) and now I am reading the biography of rock group Motley Crue. Worlds apart but both really good reads.  | |

| Reading Dawn French's 'Dear Fatty' at the mo, series of letters, OK, but not quite what I expected/hoped for | |

| Have read Julie Walters and Dawn French both which I enjoyed, like FT the Dawn French one was not what I expected. I have just started to read Alan Carr which has had me in stitches already (mind you dh says I have a weird sense of humour) Guess what I got lots of for Christmas ????
The best biographies I have read are the Billy Connelly ones, I could be laughing and crying all in one chapter.

| I have Julie Walters too, looking forward to reading it  Recommend David Niven's, think it's called Life's a balloon. I read it donkeys years ago (probably about 20), but remember it was amusing...  | |

| I just googled Kim Woodburn to she if she was who I thought she was - she was! Don't really know much about her, but that doesn't matter, I don't necessarily have to know the person to read the book. Nearly finished my Motley Crue book - both this one and the Clarissa Dickson-Wright one ended up in rehab so there's a bit of similarity there after all! Some years ago I read one about Peter Sutcliffe (Yorkshire Ripper) it was interesting, but only served to stoke my fear of bearded men!  | |

| the kim woodburn one is a great read,
very moving and honest,
the lady is wonderful and has lead a very interesting if quite sad life at times.
