Graham Greene wrote two. The first one was incredibly good. And I don't even like Greene all that much as a fiction writer, at least not all the time.

I guess Benjamin Franklin is the standard answer.

Gandhi's is pretty popular too.

Then there are books that aren't quite simply autobiography, but are largely autobiographical but arranged around some particular subject. For instance, William Goldman's Adventures in the Screen Trade, about his career as a screenwriter, was fantastic. So was When the Shooting is Done, the Cutting Begins, by the editor for Woody Allen's early comedies. Both give a ton of insight into movies and have lots of really great stories.

As soon I saw the title this is what I thought of. Seconded.

Danny, definitely get both of the Lance Armstrong ones.

From there I am not sure what to recommend, I have read a ton of great ones but they are mostly British people like Frank Skinner.

Richard Branson's Losing My Virginity is good.

Yeah, Frank Skinner's one is fab. The story of how he lost his cherry for £5 to a whore called 'Cookie' is really, really revolting though!
