Favorite Biographies/Autobiographies? [View all]

Autobiographies
Marlon Brando - Songs My Mother Taught Me
Mort Sahl - Heartland (political people will LOVE this one)
Cassavetes on Cassavetes (John's correspondence with Ray Carney, great movie critic)
Up 'Til Now: A Memoir (Senator Eugene McCarthy)

Biographies
There's a TON of Jim Morrison, but I highly recommend "Summer With Morrison" by Dennis Jakob
"Last Man Standing: Mort Sahl and the Birth of Stand-up Comedy" by Jim Curtis
"Agent of Evolution" by Jim Curtis (one of a handful of great books about Bill Hicks)
"In The Pink: Not a Hunting Memoir" (its about Roger Waters, written by Nick Sedgewick)

There's a ton of great John Lennon ones (and some bad ones), but I need to skim so I don't mix them up.
