    Default recommend any memoirs?

    Im in need of a new book, and i know what kind of book i want, just not which one. I really enjoyed homage to catalonia, and i would like to read another memoir like that. so can anyone recommend some titles? thanks.

    Trotsky's My Life is fantastic, as is Memoirs of a Revolutionary by Victor Serge.

    I haven't read Homage to Catalonia yet (it's on my list to read, though) so I can't recommend books like it, but I also loved Trotsky's autobiography...I don't know if you're into African American civil rights radicals, but Bobby Seale's Seize the Time is very good, as is Malcom X's autobiography, if you haven't read those yet.

    If you liked HOMAGE TO CATALONIA, you might try THE ROAD TO WIGAM PIER by the same author.

    Biko by Donald Wood is very good. There's also a film by the same name.

    The last time I was sentenced to death, I ordered four hyper-vodkas for my breakfast. All a bit of a blur after that... I woke up in bed with both of my executioners. Lovely couple, they stayed in touch! Can't say that about most executioners. - Captain Jack Harkness
