Best Autobiography Titles

My favorite has always been *Everyone is Entitled to My Opinion *by David Brinckley.

Stephen Fry’s Moab is my Washpot.

The Oxford English Dictionary gives “moab (n.): 2. Chiefly in English public schools: an outdoor conduit for washing; a tub, trough, or other container for water; a washroom.”
Just don’t tell the people in Moab, Utah about this*

*Moab is the town just outside Arches National Park, where the opening to Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade – among other flicks – was filmed. Lotsa motels filled with tourists.

Nigger by Dick Gregory. He explained to his mother, “Whenever you hear the word ‘Nigger’, you’ll know their advertising my book.”

X-Ray: The Unauthorized Autobiography by Ray Davies in which Davies is an eccentric old man telling his life story to a nameless young interviewer working for the world-ruling conglomerate called “The Corporation.”

Desi Arnaz – A Book and it’s sequel Another Book.

Looking Up–Michael J. Fox (5’4")
Still Me - Christopher Reeve

As for bios, John Keat’s You Might As Well Live: The Lives and Times of Dorothy Parker, inspired by her famous poem Resume:

Razors pain you;
Rivers are damp;
Acids stain you;
And drugs cause cramp.

Guns aren’t lawful;
Nooses give;
Gas smells awful;
You might as well live

For bios, my favorite title is the biography of Joseph Smith, founder of Mormonism. Its title is No Man Knows my History, a statement made by Smith in one of his speeches.

The author, Fawn Brodie, was a woman.

Any guesses? Bruce Campbell

I Want It Now!, by Julie Dawn Cole, who played Veruca Salt in Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory.
This Is A Book, by Demetri Martin.
Dirty Jokes and Beer, by Drew Carey.
Hyperbole and a Half, by Ellie Brosh. Yeah, it was the title of her blog/comic first, but it’s still a good title.
Furiously Happy, by Jenny Lawson, about battling mental illness.

“Bring on The Empty Horses” by David Niven

I Am America (And So Can You!) by Stephen Colbert of The Colbert Report

The Sensuous Dirty Old Man by Dr. A.

His autobiographies were * In Memory Yet Green , In Joy Still felt , and I.Asimov *

Michael Caine , What’s it All About ?

The Autobiography of Alice B. Toklas by Gertrude Stein.

Me, by Katharine Hepburn.

Loitering with Intent, by Peter O’Toole.

  • Still Me* , by Christopher Reeve

I am embarrassed to admit this, but I remember seeing that The Situation from Jersey Shore wrote a book about himself called Here’s the Situation.

But I didn’t read it, I swear!

Isn’t he the one that claimed to be unfamiliar with everything in his autobiography?
