David Attenborough’s Life on Air. He reviews how he got started at the BBC and many of the adventures he took while trying to get some of the world’s animals captured on film, often for the very first time ever. It’s a short chapter when he discusses his wife’s passing but damn does it bring the tears
Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass, an American Slave
It’s a very easy read and it’s in the public domain. It’s also an incredibly important part of American history.
Bell yellow pages. Plot is a little thin, bit what a cast of characters!
American Caesar.
Wyatt Earp Speaks
Black Elk Speaks
The fact that the title is those books are in the same theme is pure coincidence!
Also, I realized that both dictated to somebody that wrote their memoirs and/or autobiography. Nevertheless, fantastic reads.
Read each chapter of Captain Richard Winters in sync with Band of Brothers HBO series. It’s uncanny.
Edit: Beyond Band of Brothers: The War Memoirs of Major Dick Winters
Harpo Speaks! - Harpo Marx An amazing story. That guy had a wild life!
Total Recall - Arnold Schwarzenegger Nothing happened to Arnold by accident. He is the ultimate man with a plan.
Fire at Eden’s Gate: The Tom McCall Story:
Born Twice. It’s the autobiography of a Green Beret fighting in the US military’s most highly-decorated unit of all time, MACV-SOG. He read the audiobook himself, so if you go that route, it has a “Grandpa telling you stories” vibe to it, except that you’re an adult now and he doesn’t have to hold anything back anymore.
