Bursts of Color - I'm Your Huckleberry
I listened to Val Kilmer's so-named memoir last weekend. It was a fun trip to the 80s and 90s, with stops at Top Gun, The Doors, and Heat. It also revealed Val's personal journey, as memoirs are supposed to, with his unique struggles, pain and triumphs. I tend to like these first-person accounts better than most other non-fiction, and always learn something. Here are a few others that have stuck with me (apologies for the imperfect groupings):
Business
Ted Turner - Call Me Ted
Jack Welch - Straight From the Gut
Phil Knight - Shoe Dog
Government
Condoleezza Rice - Extraordinary, Ordinary People
Arnold Schwarzenegger - Total Recall
Michelle Obama - Becoming
Entertainment
Trevor Noah - Born a Crime
Amy Schumer - The Girl With The Lower Back Tattoo
Jimmy O Yang - How To American
Law
Bryan Stevenson - Just Mercy
Edward Snowden - Permanent Record
Bill Browder - Red Notice
Academia
Hope Jahren - Lab Girl
Richard Feynman - Surely You're Joking, Mr Feynman
Tara Westover - Educated
PS: A Plug for Audiobooks
While I enjoy reading in the traditional format, I also go through a lot of audiobooks while running, driving, cooking, shopping, etc. Memoirs read by the author often provide that extra special sauce.
