Not sure if this counts but I have been listening to Sir Michael Caine's Autobiography "
" on Audible.
It is a cracking story and a real insight into a working class actor's rise through the mediocrity to stardom. An eye opening story filled with a litany of memories, sadness, warming tales and humour. In aspects of his acting and personal life. it is also read by Sir Michael Caine, as well.

Yes this was a featured on BBC radio 4 Book of the week not so long ago. I enjoyed it, the 5 episodes they gave anyway. Will have to get the whole book at some point I think.Not sure if this counts but I have been listening to Sir Michael Caine's Autobiography "" on Audible.

I'm currently half way through and reading about 30 pages a day. It's incredibly candid for 1929, must have raised a few eyebrows at the time (in England at least.) As for descriptions of life and death in the trenches thus far I would say it is only bettered by Storm Of Steel, both well worth reading for their incredibly stark polar opposite nature. The British memoirs are steeped with loss, sadness, and survivors guilt whilst the German is positively cheerful! Some claim it glorifies war but your best reading it and deciding for yourself.

Pietr the Latvian by Georges Simenon.

I have read dozens of Maigret books over the years and still return to him every now and again. Comfort reading for me. I think Simenon is one of the great writers of the 20th century. Hugely underrated.
