Sometimes I wish people would make autobiographies, sometimes I wish they wouldn't  If you could read an autobiography by any person, who would it be?

I'm going to be reading 'Dear me' by Sir Peter Ustinov soon, I always had a huge amount of respect for him along with greatly enjoying his wit. Looking forward to it.
I would have loved to have read an autobiography by Genghis Khan, if he'd have had someone write it all down for him.

Whats wrong with Jervis Cocker?
Sir Alec Guiness' retired memoirs "My name escapes me?" is a great read, if only for the part where he has to deal with his Star Wars past (which he hated but appreciated the cash from). Very amusing chap, amazing career and sadly missed.

My guess is they have some kind of contractual limitation that prevents them from
releasing details about people they've written for.

This is a little story about four people named Everybody, Somebody, Anybody, and Nobody.
There was an important job to be done and Everybody was sure that Somebody would do it.
Anybody could have done it, but Nobody did it.
Somebody got angry about that because it was Everybody's job.
Everybody thought that Anybody could do it, but Nobody realized that Everybody wouldn't do it.
It ended up that Everybody blamed Somebody when Nobody did what Anybody could have done.
