Citizen Hughes, while not a true autobiography but more of a collection of his stolen papers, is very good.

One of the least read Hemingway books, but one of my favorites. The diary of Anais Nin is great too, for the whole Paris in the 20's thing. I guess these are both wrong for the thread since one's a memoir and the other's a Journal...but all the really good autobios have been mentioned.
