Nadia Owusu’s Aftershocks traces the author’s journey from Tanzania to America—via Italy, Ethiopia, and England. Michael Leviton’s To Be Honest recalls one man’s exceedingly strange upbringing in a kind of radical honesty cult. Then there’s filmmaker Oliver Stone’s Chasing the Light. You know he’s got some good stories…

My favorite genre! You can never go wrong when reading a memoir. Yup, even the bad ones.Why?
Even a poorly written memoir can give you a peek inside someone's life. Just a glance, can open your mind up to lives that may be different from yours.
omg definitely adding the Bechdel memoir!! this list is incredible, honestly.
Good grief! I just added 10 more books to my want to read! These are great choices! Thank you!
Can Goodreads make a list of books by Indian authors too?
I've been thinking about writing a memoir lately, but I haven't read many myself. A lot of these look interesting, so it might be good idea to check them out to help me with my own.
ahhhh more books to explore!!! *_*
