This one is great: His Promised Land: The Autobiography of John P. Parker, Former Slave and Conductor on the Underground Railroad
-
I haven't read it, but my friend would suggest Nelson Mandela. Not sure if its an autobiography or just a biography, but an inspiring story of him and his dream never dying.
-
This might not be to your liking, but I recommend "Who's afraid of a Large Black Man" by Charles Barkley. It's poignant, serious, and funny (as Sir Charles always is ! ) For a biography, I recommend "Lincoln's Melancholy" - amazing stuff in there. Most people don't know the severe depressions Lincoln struggled with all his life and how they worsened while he was our president.

Try Lance Armstrong's "It's Not About the Bike" (i think that's the title)

Scar Tissue by Anthony Kiedis of the red hot chili peppers. it was a really good autobiography A Million Little Pieces by James Frey, about him in rehab, another really good book. Tommyland by Tommy Lee of motley crue, another really good book

I enjoyed the one authorized by Rock Hudson about how he lived his life as a lie in Hollywood. He granted the author interviews about his life during the last weeks before his death, from AIDs. Sad, but very interesting.
-
Paula Deen wrote one. (she's the butter-lovin' southern lady from Food Network.) even if you've never watched her shows or heard about her, it's a page-turner.

The Nazi Officer's Wife by Edith Hahn Beer http://www.bbc.co.uk/worldservice/people/highlights/edith.shtml
-
It's not exactly an autobiography but Akio Morita's Made in Japan about Sony and himself are very interesting readings.

I'm quite enjoying "Stand & Deliver: The Autobiography by Adam Ant" but then I'm a fan of his stuff from long back, whereas most people may have only heard his sugar-pop stuff like "Goody Two Shoes". He describes how he invented this alter-ego of his and the path of sex, cutting, and mental illness that followed until he was formally diagnosed with Bipolar disorder. It's very real, quite raw, and very excuse-free. High on humility and low on arrogance: what a punk/rock/pop star bio should be.
