Default The Best Autobiographies

Autobiographies are cool because then you can read about very interesting peoples lives and how they though and hopefully they are good writers too. What are the best ones out there? I will start by recommending "Surely You're Joking Mr. Feynman," a good but not outstanding book.

Wouldn't call it an autobiography, but excellent.

'I Am Third' by Gayle Sayers. Probably read it a dozen times as a kid. One chapter ('Pick') spawned the movie Brian's Song.
