Does anyone have any well written memoirs to recommend to me? Some that I've read that I have really enjoyed: Fear and Loathing In Las Vegas, Catcher In The Rye, Looking For Alaska, Perks Of Being A Wallflower, and a lot of Hunter S. Thompson's shiet. I'm not sure if all those are considered to be memoirs, but if you've read the stuff that I've listed I'm sure you'll understand my feel, so yeah i'd really appreciate it if anyone could help me out
So I'm assuming it can be fictional memoirs? In that case... anything by Jack Kerouac. Not fake and absolutely fabulous! (How can anyone read Catcher in the Rye? I've done it 5 times and don't dig it... what a douche)
the liars club by mary karr and cherry is a good one by her as well. also been a fan of mccourt in teacher man.
Have you read Henry Miller, it´s a mixture between fictional and non fictional memoirs, and is very, very good. I´ve read Sexus and Tropic of Cancer. He won the Nobel. It has lots of sex, and crazy stuff, He inspired the beat generation a lot, but he is much better than them, at least i think so. In my opnion Sexus is better than Tropic of cancer, but both are awesome.
people have said shit about it and apparently parts have been fabricated but 'a million little pieces' by James Frey was really good. Larry Kings book 'anything goes' was also good. Peace
read the many memoirs about Jim Morrison they all tell a different side of the story, and they are all really fucking interesting
thanks Gagui, that description definitly intrigued me to check those books out. and thinkfloyd, even tho i've never really gotten into the doors, im looking for anything that focuses on one character so ill be sure to look up on that too.
