Biography & Autobiography Books

Biography & Autobiography Books offer more insight into the lives of public figures than a squadron of stalkers armed with video cameras. You can get the inside story on famous figures from any era from history, either from expert biographers or from the subjects themselves. Dig into far-ranging topics like Bill O'Reilly's take on J.F.K., or a sassy memoir from comedy queen Tina Fey, or Piper Kerman's no holds barred glimpse at life in a women's prison. Our staggeringly vast selection of biographies, autobiographies, memoirs and first person narratives will feed your needs.

Here Comes Trouble Stories from My Life Michael Moore

Here Comes Trouble

A wild take no-prisoners ride. Michael Moore catapults readers along a revealing journey through his early life. The Academy Award-winning director and producer of Bowling for Columbine, Roger & Me, and Fahrenheit 9/11—reveals himself an insightful memoirist and artful storyteller. From an accidental brush with Bobby Kennedy to a lucky escape from terrorist Abu Nidal, each chapter reveals there's "Moore" to the man than first meets the eye. Alternately funny, eye-opening, and moving, Here Comes Trouble may well surprise fans of Moore's films with its deeply personal tone and unflinching honesty.
