i love biographies. i don't read nearly enough of them.

i, too, am a poor manager of time and space.

I didn't know Philip K. Dick had written an autobiography.

The auto-biographies I've read have been Surrealist auto-biographies. Which are hardly reliable. :)

I don't think I've ever read an autobiography, to be honest.  Right now, I can't read shit... me thinks me needs glasses.  The bane of getting old.  Older.  :) 

I read Poppy Z. Brite's biography of Courtney Love just recently - is that the one you have? I've got Frances Farmer's book as well...

Yeah, a couple of years ago. I found it very affecting, though later I read that a lot had been exaggerated, and that bugged me because I'm one of those annoying 'but what really happened?' people. I think, though, that the salient thing is the fact that someone could be committed to an institution on the say-so of people like parents they don't get on with, who are hardly professional or disinterested parties. Maybe the exaggeration was felt to be necessary in order to get the public's attention on the overall wrongness of mental health 'care' in the US at the time...

I like bios, but I haven't read any in awhile.

You might like "Martin Eden", Jack London's fictional autobiography.
