ME Posted August 11, 2008 Report Share Posted August 11, 2008 I generally read autobiographies and books on business. The last few I have read I admit have been a let down. I have just read Theo Paphitus and previous to that Duncan Bannatynes. Anyone else feel that these people cobble any old **** together just to make more bunce ? Anyone recommend any business books ?

darebear Posted August 11, 2008 Report Share Posted August 11, 2008 the majority of autobiographies that i read, are in relation to musicians in the rock/metal world. i love 'em. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Markio Posted August 11, 2008 Report Share Posted August 11, 2008 Danny Sugarman - Wonderland Avenue (Doors hanger-on and then manager of their legacy) Can remember the title but written by Richard Cole Led Zep Tour manager. Sex and Drugs and rock and roll, surely more interesting than reading about some sock shop owner!?!?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bagsy Posted August 12, 2008 Report Share Posted August 12, 2008 Not business related but I recently read General Sir Mike Jacksons autobiography. Some like him, lots don't but I enjoyed the book and found it a riveting read from start to finish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maiden22 Posted August 12, 2008 Report Share Posted August 12, 2008 I think that most of them are a waste of perfectly good trees. Self-indulgent twaddle by and large. Frank Sinatra showed the correct attitude when he said that he wouldn't write an autobiography because he wasn't proud of too many things he had done. Incidentally, I would be amazed if many of the ones mentioned are autobiographies. One has to write those oneself, afterall :blink: .

Chard Posted August 12, 2008 Report Share Posted August 12, 2008 I don't read autobiographies. I don't like people blowing their own trumpets and I don't believe half of it anyway, so no point in reading it. I'll stick to books that are actually labelled "fiction" :blink: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
