Whose autobiography ,I should read ? As I have interest in reading other life's story.?

Answer 1

I enjoy reading the biographies of famous women in history.

There's "Dear Friend" by Lynne Withey (I think that's how you spell her name) about Abigail Adams, the wife and confidante of Founding Father John Adams.

Cokie Roberts wrote a book about all of the women of the Revolutionary War generation called "Founding Mothers."

There's also a good one about Martha Washington. I can't remember who wrote that.

Some of my other favorite biographies, include "Eleanor of Acquitaine" by Alison Weir and bios of Jane Austen, the Bronte sisters and Anne Bradstreet, one of the first great American poets.

Answer 3

i'm sorry for the tragedies on your existence, and that i imagine that your autobiography might want to nicely be interesting. besides the undeniable fact that, it easily relies upon on the way you deal with it. the priority with autobiographies, fantastically on such tragic topics as yours, is that it really is really person-friendly to fall in the traps of self-pity or self-adulation. Now, of direction, you've been through plenty, and also you need to sense a touch sorry for your self, and also you need to renowned the way you've survived all those traumataic studies. yet you won't be able to enable your readers do not ignore that. do not do all feeling for your readers. in case you're taking a comfortable tone, then the readers will do your feeling for you, turns into outraged on your behalf. yet in case you look too indignant/unhappy etc., your readers will say, "convinced, that's dreadful," and bypass on. they gained't be moved through it. in case you do not sense like you're at an section on your existence the position you could take a reflective tone, focusing on the best and the undesirable, extremely than only the discomfort and the injustice, then i'd recommend waiting for decades till you get that type of mirrored image. also, are not any more making the e book only a listing of your issues. Introduce some topic, something the readers might want to get out of your e book. per chance write about the way you triumphed over adversity, how regardless of all of it, you've been able (in case you've been able) to proceed to be a effective and useful human being. Or something like that. There are 3 significant motives for writing: to entertain, to inform, and to persuade. Your existence sounds interesting, yet no longer precisely *pleasing.* And a artwork that's written to inform only about continually has persuasive undertones. in case you write a e book about what number anybody is homeless, opportunities are intense, you want someone to do something about it. So provide your readers a lesson, something they can take out of your e book. yet do not pontificate to them, both. Any tale is interesting. it really is real, some are extra interesting than others. yet any tale is a good tale, see you later because it really is nicely informed. no longer many people do not ignore that, i imagine.

Answer 4

Katharine Graham, "Personal History." One of the great autobiographies of our time, by the woman who was the publisher of the Washington Post during the Watergate scandal. Fascinating, brilliant life.

Answer 5

I recommend reading Savage Beauty by Nancy Milford; it's the biography of poet Edna St. Vincent Millay, who led a very scandalous life. Milford also wrote a biography of Zelda Fitzgerald (it's called Zelda) that I found quite engrossing.

If you're looking for some laughs, read David Sedaris. It's not biography, per se, but he does write mostly about his own life, and it is great fun to read about. I recommend starting with Me Talk Pretty One Day.
