| Ok my suggestion is totally different than any of the above but it is well written nonetheless. Mick Foley's "Have a Nice Day" which he hand wrote on writing tablets over a couple of years. I read it when it came out and boy I couldn't put it down. He really knows how to write and he led a very interesting life. I highly recommend it. |

Henry Ford's autobio - My Life and Work.
Really interesting read about innovation, libertarian ideals and business practices. One of the best I've ever read. |

| They may not be considered biographies per se, but both of Obama's books were easy and interesting to read. It was really refreshing to read thoughts and opinions that were so down to earth despite being a politician. Another great biography (in a completely different direction) was I Am Jackie Chan... His life is as entertaining as his movies. |
