I have just ordered the book about Heath Ledgers' life and am looking forward to reading it. Some people I don't think I would be interested in their lives and what they have done, but am starting to look into these types of books for a change and wonder who out there has read any interesting ones lately! Care to share?

I have never been really fond of reading but I must be honest a good autobiography of someone you think is interesting is rather good but these days I wonder how much is just put in these books to help them sell...

I wonder how much is put in also that may not be as truthful as has been bought to our attention a little while back. The person I would enjoy reading about the most would have to be someone who I admired and hopefully then it was all true.

I really haven't read any of the autobiographies lately, but it might be interesting to check out some of them.. It would have to be someone that I really cared to read about.. I am not sure who that be right now, but will have to think about it.. I might like to read one about Bill or Hillary Clinton, I am not sure that I would believe all that had been written but it might be an interesting book to read..

Well now reading about Bill Clinton would be a book you might find hard to put down! Not sure whether all would be true, but would be interesting. A book on Hillary I would be interesting in as to how she coped with the goings on of her hubby as for awhile there I did not think she would stay with him!@DonnaLawson (4032)

Most women would not have stayed with him, but money talks and power probably talks even louder.. They may divorce over this in the distant future, but not while the money and power are moving in their lives so freely.. Hillary knows the world isn't quite ready for a woman President but for sure not ready for a divorced woman President.. But I did really like Bill.. He was a good President although a scoundrel, lol..

I wish sometimes I could sit down and read...even if the inclination took my fancy, I think people that have the patience to sit and read have one up on most as their minds work while their body rest...

Not as easy as it sounds Eagle to switch off and take in what one is reading. Takes a little patience and for me if the mind will not allow me to take in what I am reading, I will put the book down for another time.

Hi There!
I love reading autobiographies. It is always interesting to get a pespective on other's lives and to see that we all have our share of difficulties and success. An autobiography which I really enjoyed was on Anthony Trollope, one of my favourite writers.
cheers,

Hi there! I have not heard of Anthony Trollope, but good to know you have found someone of interest to read about. What type of books does he write?

I am looking forward to reading the book on Heath Ledger and will let you know how it goes.....may take awhile though sue as not a very fast reader, and sometimes doze off and lose my place. You were able to see Underbelly but we were not so lucky! Court case happening in Geelong as one of the accused gave us a name in the papers....gee another bad cross against us!

well....i am not interested much in reading autobiographies BUT i'm fan of watching true-to-life story movies
one example is the life of SELENA....hope you can watch so that you can take note the importance of her life...
anyway if you want more interesting life's stories just read the "HOLY BIBLE" for sure there's a whole lot there..##

True to life story movies sound interesting might give that a go as well. Thank-you for sharing that bit of info.
