Hutchinson Bill Clinton - My Life
An exhaustive, soul-searching memoir, Bill Clinton's My Life is a refreshingly candid look at the former president as a son, brother, teacher, father, husband and public figure. Clinton painstakingly outlines the history behind his greatest successes and failures, including his dedication to educational and economic reform, his war against a "vast right-wing operation" determined to destroy him, and the "morally indefensible" acts for which he was nearly impeached. My Life is autobiography as therapy--a personal history written by a man trying to face and banish his private demons.

Coronet Shane Warne - Shane Warne: My Autobiography
In My Autobiography , Aussie leg-spin maestro Shane Warne, perhaps the outstanding cricketer of his generation--and one of the most consistently newsworthy characters in sport--takes stock of a phenomenally successful career, and gives his account of the scandals and controversies that have sent the media into spasms of delighted indignation. From his days as a frustrated teenage wannabe Aussie Rules star, who decided he might as well try his hand at cricket, Warne has almost single-handedly taken the gentle, studious art of spin-bowling and turned it into a thrilling gladiatorial spectacle--on the way gathering career stats that rank him in company with the game's all-time elite.

Penguin Books Gerald Durrell - My Family and Other Animals
As a self-described "champion of small uglies," Gerald Durrell (1925-1995) devoted his life to writing and the preservation of wildlife, from the Mauritius pink pigeon to the Rodriques fruit bat. My Family and Other Animals was intended to embrace the natural history of the Greek island of Corfu, but ended up as a delightful account of his family's experiences that were, according to him, "rather like living in one of the more flamboyant and slapstick comic operas".

Virago Press Ltd Latifa - My Forbidden Face
My Forbidden Face frames a fragment of Afghanistan's bloody history through the eyes of its author, Latifa. Now 22, Latifa was 16 when the Taliban seized power in 1996. Overnight, Afghani women were stripped of their aspirations, their pleasures and their freedom. She describes the sudden change that transformed her home into her prison and her clothes into symbols of shame in evocative yet matter-of-fact tones. The facts are familiar to us from countless articles and petitions but reading them here in a personal account brings home the state of abject fear Afghani women had to adjust to as the new reality of their lives.

Pan Books Christine Keeler - The Truth at Last: My Story
For Philip Larkin, sexual intercourse may have begun in 1963, but for many, particularly government ministers, spies and 19-year-old models such as Christine Keeler, it was already in full swing. Swingers of all political persuasion indulged in antics of all persuasions: heady stuff, but destined for scandal, and victims. Keeler, in this ghostwritten autobiography, makes very plain that she believes herself to have been made the biggest scapegoat for a scandal publicly about impropriety, but behind heavy doors about espionage.

Virago Press Ltd Caitlin Thomas - Double Drink Story: My Life with Dylan Thomas
"Ours was not only a love story, it was also a drink story", writes Caitlin Thomas. "The bar was our altar and the only significant difference between our drink story and any of the others is that in the middle of it was a genius poet". Caitlin Thomas' s stormy marriage to Dylan has been covered by the biographers often enough, but it is only now, following her death in 1994, that her own account of those turbulent years is published. Caitlin MacNamara was born into a far more chaotic and bohemian family than Dylan's suburban clan.

Steerforth Press Edward J. MacKenzie - Street Soldier: My Life as an Enforcer for Whitey Bulger and the Boston Irish Mob
All due respect to the Gambinos and the Genoveses, but the Italian mob families aren't the only gangsters to make for compelling memoirs, as highlighted by Street Soldier . In terms of relentless ruthlessness and its obsession with the almighty dollar, the Irish mob of Boston's James "Whitey" Bulger could match its New York counterparts hit for bloody hit. For decades, Edward J MacKenzie, Jr (aka Eddie Mac) was a drug dealer, enforcer and key associate of Bulger (on the run as this book was published). Mac's first-person account of those years is rife with more gory details per page than the entire last series of The Sopranos .

Orion Pharma Dave Pelzer - The Lost Boy: A Foster Child's Search for the Love of a Family
"Winter 1970, Daly City, California--I'm alone. I'm hungry and I'm shivering in the dark. I sit on the top of my hands at the bottom of the stairs in the garage. My head is tilted backward.

In The Lost Boy , the sequel to Dave Pelzer's bestselling A Child Called It , Dave recounts the final days with his "family" before the intervention of a schoolteacher led to his being removed from hell and taken into foster care.

Penguin Books David Cairns - Berlioz: The Making of an Artist 1803-1832 v. 1
Life stories come in all sizes, from the smallest notice in a dictionary of musical biography to largest multi-volume epic. Fitting form to subject, David Cairns's enormous retelling of Berlioz's--of which this is volume one (running from 1803-1832)--is on the grandest possible scale. It contains a tremendous amount of fascinating detail, and conveys a real sense of what it was like to grow up in France in the aftermath of the Napoleonic defeats. But above all it is a completely convincing portrait of the character of Berlioz himself, and of his sense of his own artistic mission. He lived passionately, sometimes gushingly.

Pan Books Bear Grylls - Facing Up: A Remarkable Journey to the Summit
"No Western climber or even any Sherpas had been this high, so far this year. We were treading on virgin territory on the ever-changing surface of the glacier. The excitement welled up, and I felt strong. Here I was with those I knew so well, alone and isolated in the rawness and wonder of nature; and it made me feel good." Facing Up tells the remarkable story of Bear Grylls' ascent of Everest, making him, at the age of 23, the youngest British climber to survive the adventure. Bear is at sometimes quirky and at others reflexive in his account of his months on Everest.

Black Swan John O'Farrell - Things Can Only Get Better: Eighteen Miserable Years in the Life of a Labour Supporter, 1979-1997
"Nothing gets my hackles up more," writes John O'Farrell, "than people who should know better copping out of the political system because they think they are above it." No-one could question O'Farrell's commitment to the political process after reading this hysterical, trenchant and admirably self-aware account of 'eighteen miserable years in the life of a labour supporter'. Born in Maidenhead to a family so irredeemably middle-class that as a student he found himself carefully punctuating his graffiti ("Jobs, comma, not bombs. Full stop.

"Telling my story in a book is the last thing I ever dreamed I'd be doing", writes Trevor Rees-Jones in the introduction to his autobiography, The Bodyguard's Story .

Bloomsbury Publishing PLC Nick Johnstone - A Head Full of Blue
A Head Full of Blue is the journalist Nick Johnstone's intimate, often disquietingly honest, account of his battle with alcoholism. Johnstone got drunk for the first time at the age of 14. Alcohol seemed to stall the depression that had plagued him since childhood and by his late teens he was already drinking to excess. At university he was drinking "a can of beer before classes" and more often than not would "be sipping a beer at 8.45 in the morning". The booze was augmented by anti-depressants, bouts of self-mutilation and an emotionally destructive sexual relationship with Laura, a thrill-seeking hippie chick in his hall.

Granta Books Joseph O'Neill - Blood-dark Track: A Family History
In a literary age awash with father-fixation, Joseph O'Neill goes back a generation to recall the lives of not just one but both his grandfathers. This is not mere indulgence: their experiences connect beyond their mutual grandson, and bear comparison with each other. On the one side was Joseph Dakad, a Christian Turk living in the port of Mersin, running a hotel and an import-export business. Jim O'Neill was a Corkman with a fiercely republican heart, who supplemented his graft with salmon poaching.

HarperPerennial Karen Armstrong - The Spiral Staircase
Karen Armstrong speaks to the troubling years following her decision to leave the life of a Roman Catholic nun and join the secular world in 1969. What makes The Spiral Staircase: My Climb out of Darkness especially fascinating is that Armstrong already wrote about this era once--only it was a disastrous book. It was too soon for her to understand how these dark, struggling years influenced her spiritual development, and she was too immature to protect herself from being be bullied by the publishing world.

ABACUSSPIELE David Sedaris - Me Talk Pretty One Day
David Sedaris became a star autobiographer on public radio, onstage in New York, and on bestseller lists, mostly on the strength of Santaland Diaries a scathing, hilarious account of his stint as a Christmas elf at Macy's department store. Sedaris's caustic gift has not deserted him in his fourth book, which mines poignant comedy from his peculiar childhood in North Carolina, his bizarre career path and his move with his lover to France. Though his anarchic inclination to digress is his glory, Sedaris does have a theme in these reminiscences: the inability of humans to communicate.
