Memoirs of a Geisha (one of my favorites)
Kathy Griffins new book is hysterical and really interesting if you like her
Steve Martins bio, "Born Standing Up" is really interesting too.

Love Memoirs of a Geisha!

Just read Melissa Gilbert's bio - Prairie Tale - really liked it!

I've always like true crime books - anything by Ann Rule is excellent!
