Same list, this time non-fiction(ish) recommendations. I say "ish"
because quite a few books blur the line, I think, and I'm bad at
categorizing memoirs. Add to the list and read at will!

From Kelsi:
Naked by David Sedaris
Running with Scissors by Augusten Burroughs
A Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius by Dave Eggers
What is the What: The Autobiography of Valentino Achak Deng by Dave
Eggers
The Omnivore's Dilemma by Michael Pollan

Also, the best Autobiography I've ever read was Nelson Mandela's. Amazing Read.
