One's I've enjoyed have been Lauren Bacall's, David Niven's, Rob Lowe's, Michael J. Fox's and Jodie Foster's (though that I believe was written by her brother). Also Melissa Gilbert's and as wild cards, Malcolm X and My Traitor's Heart (Rhian Malan).

+1 Molly Shannon

I must like comedians because a couple oldies I like include Trevor Noah's memoir and Mindy Kaling's.

I have to agree w/this one.

I didn’t expect it to be as good as it was.
Same w/Corey Feldman’s memoir too.

Holly Madison wrote a very juicy tell-all, Down The Rabbit Hole which I loved.
And Kris Jenner’s book written about a decade ago never gets old for me.

Demi Moore’s book is juicy, so is Britney Spear’s and Jessica Simpson’s.
Paris Hilton’s?
Nah, not well-written at all.

Hope this gives you some GREAT book 📚 ideas!

Christopher Reeve also wrote an excellent book before he died.

Michael J. Fox has a great memoir as well.

I surprisingly loved J Lo’s book too.

Mariahs book was kinda good. I didn’t know her family was insane.

Britney’s book is ok.

Spare by Prince Harry is also interesting.

Just read "Truth and Beauty" by Ann Patchett, about her friendship with poet Lucy Grealy. Super compelling and, like all Ann Patchett, beautifully written.

Can't We Talk About Something More Pleasant? - It's a graphic novel, but a very, very good one.

Katherine Graham’s Personal History is really great. She was the first female newspaper publisher and the first female CEO of Fortune 500 company. A role that was thrust upon her after her husband’s death. It’s who’s who of DCs powerful and famous. Even Warren Buffet was her confidant.

She's also the one who made the call to publish the Pentagon Papers.
