Decent autobiographies

Looking for one I can read in 2 days or so.

Not bothered who it is as long as it’s funny....sport, music, entertainment....

Somebody said Eric Bristow had a good one?
 


Spike Milligan's war stuff - Adolf Hitler, My Part in His Downfall, Rommel? Gunner Who? etc.
Clive James's books - Unreliable Memoirs, Falling Towards England etc.
Bill Bryson - The Life and Times of the the Thunderbolt Kid.

The two former probably the best for a dip in and out, two day read. They're pretty slim books but hilarious.

Read Kesselrings autobiography recently. On the surface it was alright but only after did I realise how he avoids all the main or interesting or controversial topics and the longer its been since I read it the more annoyed I am with it. Completely turns it into a 'why he won the war in italy' argument. Ignores the fact that he gave the order for 1-10 Italian civilians to be shot for every German soldier killed by partisans and refuses to really acknowledge Hitler's failings (although he does blame him for interfering) . One of the biggest monsters in ww2 and we gave the spenk a job managing Germanys post war army.
 
Nikki Six - The Heroin Diarys
I'm Ozzy - Ozzy Osbourne
Life - Kieth Richards.
Peter Kays one if funny

Avoid - Michael J Fox, Metallica and Stephen Fry - I found them a bit pretentious.
