I’ve never read any of these books, but I like the titles:
“Please Don’t Shoot My Dog, Mister” by former child star Jackie Cooper
“Leading With My Chin” by Jay Leno
“I Can’t Wait Until Tomorrow, Cause I Get Better Looking Every Day” by Joe Namath
Me by Katharine Hepburn.
Leonard Nimoy’s two autobiographies, I Am Not Spock and the followup, I Am Spock.
“I’m Fuckin’ In, You’re Fuckin’ Out” by Kenny Powers.
This is Me, Jack Vance! by Jack Vance.
It’s subtitled (Or, More Properly, This is ‘I’)
Born Standing Up - by Steve Martin. And the book is a very thoughtful look at how he started of with, in his mind, no real talent for standup and just willed his act into creation - so title has layers to it…
“If Chins Could Kill: Confessions of a B Movie Actor” - Bruce Campbell.
“Are You There, Vodka? It’s Me, Chelsea” - Chelsea Handler
Haven’t read the second one, so I can only assume that it is an autobiography. Both are great titles, anyway…TRM
My name escapes me. by Sir Alec Guiness. ( not really a bio, but very charming.)
“Surprised by Joy”- C.S. Lewis
Not really an AB…but the title would work!
Everyone is Entitled to My Opinion (David Brinkley)
Things the Grandchildren Should Know, by Mark Oliver Everett, better known as E from the Eels.
For a biography, I like the title of Fawn Brodie’s book about Joseph Smith (founder of the Mormons): No Man Knows My History.
Since she was a woman, I guess there’s no problem there.
Moab Is My Washpot, by Stephen Fry (a Psalmic reference to, I believe, how the early events of Fry’s life, during which he was rather naughty, helped shape him into a more upstanding person) – a very enjoyable book.
I haven’t read it, but I always liked the title Starving for Attention, which was Cherry Boone’s (Pat’s daughter) memoir about her anorexia/bulimia.
The working title for Pete Townshend’s autobiography is “Who He?”
A guy I work with wants to name his Acquaintances: People I Couldn’t Avoid. I like it.
I still like Fawn Brody’s bio of Mormon prophet Joseph Smith: No Man Knows my History – the title is a quote from one of Smith’s speeches*
Fawn Brody, of course, is a woman.
*Yes, a Speech. Not a sermon, IIRC.
Heh. Beat you to both the cite and the joke.
Great title, but it’s actually a book of humorous essays.
