I've been on a bit of a memoir & autobiography kick lately and have really been enjoying them. So am curious if anyone has read any that they've loved and would recommend.

Here are a few that I've finished:

Greenlights by Matthew McConaughey
Stories I Only Tell My Friends by Rob Lowe
In Pieces by Sally Field
Becoming by Michelle Obama
The Good Neighbor: The Life and Work of Fred Rogers by Maxwell King
Inside Out by Demi Moore
Wild by Cheryl Strayed
Bossypants by Tina Fey
Stay Sexy & Don’t Get Murdered by Karen Kilgariff & Georgia Hardstark

Titles I currently have on hold:
Hidden Valley Road by Robert Kolker
Broken by Jenny Lawson
A Promised Land by Barack Obama
Me by Elton John

& I think I've read nearly everything by David Sedaris [lovelovelove him!!]
 
My personal faves (not on your list above):
Outsider in the White House by Bernie Sanders
Long Walk to Freedom by Nelson Mandela
When Breath Becomes Air by Paul Kalanithi
 
I don't read a ton of autobiographies, but I absolutely loved Alexander Hamilton by Ron Chernow. Which I guess is a bit different in that it's a biography, but it was so well written and just fascinating. I read it before I saw the play and it made me love the play even more. It's just so interesting to see the stories of the people who started our country.

I also loved Breaking Night by Liz Murray
