Nirad C. Chaudhuri has always been accused by the critics for being defensive for the ways of the Britishers that they used during the British rule in India. This accusation has damaged his reputation as a literary writer in India. However, some other critics see the things from a wider perspective, and therefore, do not hesitate in releasing Chaudhuri from this accusation. These critics give their view that Chaudhuri's criticism of Indian social life emerges from his predilection for Western social life. Thus, in his autobiography, the author describes his personal experiences in detail which shaped his personality in a particular manner. It is an acknowledged fact that the personality of an individual depends on one’s heredity and environment. Both the factors significantly affect one’s attitude, intellectual set-up, and physique. The personality of an individual is likely to grow when he interacts with his environment. This personal interaction is what makes all his experiences unique. In his autobiography, he aptly portrays the picture of contemporary society. However, he narrates his life story of personal events, but his point-of-view is very objective as these events explicitly depict the actual image of contemporary society. Therefore, the present research paper attempts to deal with the depiction of contemporary society in Chaudhuri’s Autobiography of an Unknown Indian.

The fascinating lives of others are lived again

If you want to learn more about a famous person or just get into the detail of someone else’s life, then you can download a memoir or biography book (and autobiography books) from obooko.

Autobiography books give us the real account of what actually happened as the author is also the main character. We get a true window into someone else’s world. Take a look at Life in the Shadows of a Corporate Lawyer to get the story of the struggles of a lawyer with alcohol problems at time when getting corporate counsel positions was very difficult unless you were part of the old boy’s network.

Sometimes a biography will give us a perspective of a world changing event from someone who was there. Singing Magic tells the story of a Canadian girl who moved to South Africa during the ending of apartheid and brings us a fresh view of what real, normal people were going through at this time of change. We gain insight to what things were really like, unedited by news media.

There is no better way to satisfy your curiosity about other people than reading a book about them. Learn how they think and what drives them to do the things they do and use that knowledge to influence your own life – in some cases memoir books can be like having your own mentor, laying out the values to follow. In other cases, it might be a lesson in what not to do.

There are many biography books at obooko and this just gives a flavour of the diverse range of online story books that are available. Some will inspire you to want to do great things, others will make you sad and want to cry. Maybe some will make you angry enough to shout. What is certain is that you will get something to keep you wanting to turn the page and read more. Download these memoir and biography books from obooko today.

The Best Celebrity Memoirs of All Time

Humor, revelation, and scandal—these books have everything you're looking for and more.

Every product was carefully curated by an Esquire editor. We may earn a commission from these links.

The genre's beauty lies in how it brings celebrities down to a human level. And in many cases, like Debbie Harry in Face It , Alan Cumming in Baggage, or Carrie Fischer in The Princess Diarist , the authors don’t just examine themselves, but act as generous and intelligent observers of their time and place in pop culture, as well as the characters they’ve met along the way. There’s plenty of room for invention—leave it to Steve Martin to write a graphic memoir!—along with humor, revelation, and scandal.

Below, listed in no particular order, are thirty of our all-time favorites. Pass the popcorn.

Back Bay Books Life, by Keith Richards

Keith Richards is the living embodiment of rock ’n’ roll, which is funny, because we’ve been obsessed with his pending death since the ’70s. Part of the legendary Glimmer Twin duo with bandmate Mick Jagger, Richards has an easy, avuncular affinity for reminiscing. Working with the deft James Fox ( White Mischief ), we get a finely distilled articulation of Richards' life and times. The high praise heaped on the book is well-earned.

Dey Street Books Open Book, by Jessica Simpson

No one predicted that a pop star turned fashion mogul would deliver one of the most barn-burning books of 2020, but with Open Book , Jessica Simpson defied expectations. When Simpson hit rock bottom on Halloween 2017, deep in the grips of an addiction to alcohol and sleeping pills, she turned inward, sorting through decades of diaries to make sense of her personal history. Something in Simpson broke open that day, inspiring her to write this achingly honest memoir of fame, fortune, and heartbreak. There’s gossip aplenty here—Simpson details how a caddish John Mayer repeatedly dumped her over email, while her emotional affair with her Dukes of Hazzard co-star Johnny Knoxville was actually downright swoony. But the book’s real revelations lie in its corrections to the tabloid narrative about Simpson. Open Book will force you to reconsider everything you think you know about one the world’s most talked-about women, long written off as a walking blonde joke. Ronan Farrow said it best: “We all owe her an apology.”

Houghton Mifflin Harcourt Rememberings, by Sinéad O'Connor

While O’Connor is no stranger to controversy, particularly during her pop moment heyday in the early ’90s, this memoir is beautifully spare, plain-spoken, and bracing. It is direct, as you would expect, but also funny. Not only do we get a sharp evocation of her troubled family life growing up—and O’Connor never courts sympathy or wallows in self-pity—but an entertaining, nuanced guided tour to her musical life. Like many people in her position, O’Connor acknowledges how lucky she is to have her every dream come true. “More than that,” she writers upon meeting Muhammad Ali, “dreams that I never even dared to dream came true.”

Scribner Dear Mr. You, by Mary Louise Parker

Have you ever written a letter to someone to get your feelings off your chest, then decided never to send it? Mary Louise Parker has—and here, the award-winning actress collects 34 such letters in one volume. Eloquent and ambitious, these are missives to the men who have shaped Parker’s life, real and hypothetical alike. From the father who raised her to the oyster picker who harvested his last meal, the teacher who changed her life to the cab driver to whom she owes an apology, this visionary web of connections leaves a bittersweet sting.

Random House Trade Paperbacks You'll Never Eat Lunch in This Town Again, by Julia Phillips

A close collaborator of directors like Steven Spielberg and Martin Scorsese, Phillips was the first woman to win an Oscar for Best Picture as co-producer of The Sting , but still, she forever felt ostracized by the Hollywood boys club. Phillips had it all, lost it all, fell into the vicious grip of addiction, then roared back with this withering memoir, ready to name names and burn bridges. Here, she reveals the Hollywood elite on their worst behavior: lying, backstabbing, trading favors, and snorting lots—and lots—of cocaine. Fittingly, the book’s title came true; after years of holding a table at Morton’s, a clubby Hollywood steakhouse, Phillips was banned from the restaurant following the book’s publication. You’ll Never Eat Lunch In This Town Again is a mixed bag—sometimes miserable, other times illuminating, always entertaining.

Number One Is Walking, by Steve Martin

One of the coolest things about Steve Martin is just how many different creative forms he’s tried out. His cartoon work with Harry Bliss is particularly gratifying because they have a natural affinity for each other. For someone who became famous as a solo performer, it speaks to Martin’s curiosity and eagerness to play. This graphic memoir about Martin’s 40-year career in the movies is unassuming and tidy—it goes down easy. It’s especially pleasing to hear Martin recall working on classics such as All of Me (“Back in bowl!”) and Roxanne, as well as working with comedy legends like Carl Reiner and Mike Nichols (Nichols directed Martin in a much-maligned and underrated version of Waiting for Godot ) .

The Extraordinary Life of an Ordinary Man, by Paul Newman

Even though he became a superstar in his own right, for years, Paul Newman lived in the shadow of Marlon Brando. Then again, so did every other American actor of Newman’s generation. But ultimately, he emerged as someone different and more relatable than the enigmatic Brando. Newman touched audiences because we could see ourselves in him. And he just got better with age. His run in the late ’70s and early ’80s was remarkable. It was in 1986—when he finally won an Oscar for acting ( The Color of Money )—that Newman sat down with Stewart Stern (who wrote the screenplay for Rebel Without a Cause ) to record a memoir. The transcripts sat untouched until recently. Here, they've been collected into an invaluable, self-lacerating look into the life of a star, particularly concerning Neman’s struggles with alcohol and fidelity. It's all been neatly edited by Newman's family, while the raw transcripts, some of which made their way into Ethan Hawke’s HBO docuseries about Newman and Joanne Woodward, The Last Movie Stars , are likely far tougher.

Dey Street Books Face It, by Debbie Harry

Imagine a book as your favorite dessert. This book looks cool and feels cool to hold and touch. It has four major sections devoted to Blondie fan art—and that is cool as hell. And then there’s Harry herself, the ultimate in New York downtown chic—sardonic, alert, smart, and smart-ass. Face It is generous and just plain fun.

Baggage: Tales from a Fully Packed Life, by Alan Cumming

Alan Cumming is incorrigibly charming. He’s irresistible, which is part of his appeal as a performer. He manages the tough trick of bringing that charm to his memoirs. In Baggage , his second memoir, he writes winningly about his early days in the movies in the ’90s, and the pleasures and downsides of living a busy, charmed life. But Cumming is deeper than just charm, which is why he’s able to write about it so effectively. Baggage is a lovely depiction of the acting life.

Dey Street Books Girl in a Band, by Kim Gordon

A no-bullshit account of Kim Gordon’s music career, notably her time with the influential post-punk bank Sonic Youth, one of the bright spots of the indie music scene in the ’80s and ’90s. Gordon is a lively writer, alternatively pugnacious, thoughtful, analytical, and tender. We also get an unvarnished look at a partner scorned—there is much space devoted to Gordon’s bandmate and former husband, Thurston Moore. But this isn’t a gripe session and the narrative doesn’t get bogged down in bitterness. A crisp, absorbing read. Brings an entire scene to life.

St. Martin's Griffin Act One: An Autobiography, by Moss Art

One of the truly classic American memoirs. Written by playwright/director Moss Hart, Act One is both a bitter account of his early life in poverty and a remarkable behind-the-scenes look at his collaboration with legendary playwright George S. Kaufman. A number one bestseller for months—it spent a year on the list—the book became a pantheon text for generations of theater students. Essential.

Taste, by Stanley Tucci

Oh, come on, this is so much fun. You never know if an actor can make it on the page, but Tucci passes the test with flying colors. He’s a pleasure. The man lives an epicurean life and writes about it without fuss. We’ve known since Big Night that food is central to Tucci’s life (as was clear in his recently departed CNN show) and Tucci writes like he cooks—economical, self-effacing, warm, and funny. Featuring great food stories from his acting life, Tucci also includes a handful of recipes with an absoluteness that would make Marcella Hazan proud.

Cinema Speculation, by Quentin Tarantino

Okay, so this isn’t a traditional memoir. However, these essays about 1970s movies serve as a record of Tarantino’s early moviegoing years, tagging along with his mother and stepfather, who allowed him to see grown-up movies. Lucky for him, Tarantino grew up during an incredible era of moviemaking in this country. This collection of essays is what you’d expect—opinionated, digressive, occasionally mean-spirited, sometimes sloppy, a dishy blend of kibbitzing, gossip, and criticism. Tarantino is especially good writing about young Brian De Palma, the impact of Rocky , and the underrated joys of character actor Joe Don Baker and writer Donald Westlake. But it’s the evocation of watching movies in a theater during this period that gives the book a lift.

The Office BFFs, by Jenna Fischer and Angela Kinsey

Sunny recollections of the American version of The Office by co-stars Jenna Fischer (Pam) and Angela Kinsey (Angela). Sure, a yen for the show is required for this to work for you, but even for a casual fan, there is enough to draw you in. Affectionate tributes abound to crew and cast members—the stories about Melora Hardin (Jan Gould) are especially poignant. Handsomely designed, it feels like a lavish, uber-cheerful yearbook. In fact, it’s based on the podcast, " Office Ladies ” that Fishcer and Kinsey co-host. But as an add-on, it’s a gem, a must for anyone that cares about The Office .

Vintage Open: An Autobiography, by Andre Agassi

Sports autobiographies date back to the first part of the 20th century. At best, they are diverting reads and informative candy, though often full of boring, egotistical ramblings. Right up front, Andre Agassi gets kudos for his pick of co-authors in J.R. Moeringer (who also ghostwrote Prince Harry's Spare ), and his willingness to write a tough, introspective story. In Moeringer’s hands, Agassi’s story ascends to a place few sports memoirs ever reach. Up there with Ball Four as one of the great sports memoirs every written.

Da Capo Press Satchmo, by Louis Armstrong

Louis Armstrong is one of the towering American artists of the 20th century, but in addition to revolutionizing music, he dabbled in writing—and also collages and illustrations , on the side. He’s at his best in Satchmo: My Life in New Orleans , written in a clean, breezy, enviably conversational style. Rich in observation, it’s a classic, no doubt.

Vintage Personal History, by Katharine Graham

If you want to be exacting about it, Personal History is more of an autobiography than a memoir. It's a formidable, comprehensive book, but also intimate, questioning, and vulnerable. Graham, the longtime publisher of the Washington Post , witnessed her fair share of celebrity, Washington-style. Hell, she helped dismantle Richard Nixon’s presidency by publishing the Pentagon Papers and later exposing the Watergate burglary. She also hosted Truman Capote's infamous black and white ball in 1966, arguably the celebrity bash of the century. Graham is never imperious, and if she keeps the reader at a certain distance, clearly choosing carefully what to put in and leave out, she never feels inauthentic. A memorable depiction of relentless self-doubt.

Bloomsbury USA Kitchen Confidential, by Anthony Bourdain

Where it all began for Bourdain—at least as far as the cult of Bourdain is concerned. His voice already in full form, Bourdain’s account of the fast-paced rock ’n’ roll life of a line cook to top chef douchebaggery is a classic of its kind. Intelligent, self-aware, curious, belligerent—Bourdain’s winning formula.

Reagan Arthur / Little, Brown Bossypants, by Tina Fey

When we think of a tell-all memoir, we think of salacious dirt about someone or something—but for Tina Fey, “tell-all” means something more like “tell all my errant thoughts, anxieties, and feelings.” Bossypants is a roving collection of waggish anecdotes, humorous essays, and behind-the-scenes tales from a singular career in comedy. Fey muses on feminism, creativity, motherhood, and more in these gut-busting essays, all told in the lacerating and insightful voice you know and love from Saturday Night Live or 30 Rock .

I'm Glad My Mom Died, by Jennette McCurdy

This gutsy memoir by a former Nickelodeon actress burned up the bestseller list in 2022. At six years old, McCurdy began auditioning for acting gigs at the behest of her mother, Debra, who dreamed of molding her daughter into “Mommy’s little actress.” Wanting only to please her mother, McCurdy submitted to a strict regimen of “calorie restriction,” along with more extreme violations; Debra bathed McCurdy until she was sixteen and even subjected her to regular genital exams well into her teenhood. When McCurdy was 21 years old, Debra died of cancer, leaving McCurdy to sort through decades of emotional, mental, and physical abuse. It took quitting acting and discovering therapy for her to find peace—a journey she chronicles in this raw and revealing memoir, brimming with catharsis and compassion.

13 Celebrity Autobiographies That Are Seriously Worth Reading

By Lindsey Lanquist

Celeb autobiographies can be pretty hit or miss. I don't want to name any names, but if all you've done is profit from an inherited empire of wealth, I'm probably not too interested in what you have to say. Some celebs, though, have risen to the occasion and penned—or hired someone to pen—books that are actually worth reading.

Below are 13 of our favorite celeb-authored books.

Modern Romance , Aziz Ansari

Aziz Ansari's Modern Romance isn't quite an autobiography, but the comedian did write it himself. The book is a thoughtful—but funny (of course)—look at the contemporary world of dating. And Ansari teamed up with an NYU sociologist to help him take a deeper dive into the technology-infused world of ~modern romance~. Get ready to learn something—and to have a serious laugh. (Shop here for $11.52.)

The Girl with the Lower Back Tattoo , Amy Schumer

This book won't hit stores until August, but we're excited to see Amy Schumer's frank and unapologetic writing emerge in a new format. Anyone who loved Trainwreck , who watches Inside Amy Schumer on the reg, or who just has an affinity for funny women should look out for The Girl with the Lower Back Tattoo. (Pre-shop here for $15.40.)

Bossypants , Tina Fey

Reading Tina Fey's writing is as entertaining as watching the actress on TV, so get ready to turn Bossypants ' pages as quickly as you'd hit the "continue watching" button on Netflix. Fey's autobiography tells her story from nerdy start to wildly successful finish, with a little bit of SNL in between. Plus, her novel's title and core message make an empowering point: "You're no one until someone calls you bossy." Hear that, ladies? (Shop here for $5.41.)

Seriously...I'm Kidding , Ellen DeGeneres

Everybody loves Ellen DeGeneres, and her book is packed with the same witty humor and silly personality the TV star has become known for. Hear anecdotes from the star's past, and flip the book over to read rave reviews about Seriously...I'm Kidding penned by the comedienne herself. "What I'm saying is, let us begin, shall we?" DeGeneres wrote in her book's intro. And seriously, what's holding you back? (Shop here for $10.20.)

In the Country We Love , Diane Guerrero

Orange Is The New Black actress Diane Guerrero has a seriously important story to tell, and she wants you to hear it. Her book, In the Country We Love , details her family's journey with immigration and deportation—painting a vivid picture of a social issue facing many in our country. Guerrero's story is one of strength and resilience in the face of adversity, and it's incredibly captivating. (Shop here for $11.75.)

Happy Accidents , Jane Lynch

Before Jane Lynch was a wildly popular actress known for her roles in Glee and The 40-Year-Old Virgin , she was a little girl from Illinois dreaming of making it in Hollywood. The story sounds familiar, but with Lynch's clever voice and hilarious anecdotes, her path to success was all but stereotypical. Lynch's book is amusing and inspiring—making it quite the page-turner. ** (Shop here for $14.99.) **

Not That Kind of Girl , Lena Dunham

Though Lena Dunham can be a somewhat polarizing figure, Not That Kind of Girl is a charming, unapologetic look at young womanhood. The book is a compilation of Dunham's essays, e-mails, and lists, and tells a coming-of-age story through the awkward, down-to-earth voice the author and actress has become known for. (Shop here for $17.72.)

Wildflower , Drew Barrymore

Drew Barrymore takes a more heartfelt, less humorous approach to telling her story with Wildflower . The book is fun and insightful, and it traces Barrymore's journey to the point of fulfillment she's reached today. Emotional and heartwarming, Wildflower is the perfect read for anyone craving a happy ending. (Shop here for $9.52.)

If You Ask Me , Betty White

No celeb autobiography list would be complete without a nod to Betty White—the queen of all queens. White's If You Ask Me paints a hilariously unglamorous look at the world of Hollywood through the eyes of someone who knows it better than most. Plus, who doesn't want to read about Betty White's frank opinions on the world? (Shop here for $9.28.)

Is Everyone Hanging Out Without Me? , Mindy Kaling

Touted as one of the best recent celeb releases, Is Everyone Hanging Out Without Me? is a beautiful and hilarious look at Mindy Kaling's transformation from obedient "chubster" child to acclaimed comedic writer and actress. Part journey to success story and part collection of humorous thoughts on the world, Kaling's book is everything you'd expect it to be, which is—in a word—magic. (Shop here for $8.05.)

My Horizontal Life , Chelsea Handler

Most people aren't brave or honest enough to pen an anthology of their one-night stands, but Chelsea Handler isn't most people. Her 2013 book, My Horizontal Life , leads the reader on a journey through wild nights out that end in equally exciting bouts of passion—over and over and over again. Handler's voice is classically blunt and humorous, leaving the reader constantly entertained. (Shop here for $6.05.)

Yes Please , Amy Poehler

Amy Poehler is phenomenal, and Yes Please is another example of the actress proving just how awesome she is. Filled with tales of doing cocaine and treating careers like bad boyfriends, Yes Please is the smart, hilarious read only Poehler could've written. Get ready to get to know the Parks and Recreation actress a whoooole lot better. (Shop here for $7.78.)

Scrappy Little Nobody , Anna Kendrick

Another upcoming release, Anna Kendrick's Scrappy Little Nobody is sure to be a hit. Kendrick's silly sense of humor makes pretty much anything she does fun and adorable, and we're excited to see what anecdotes Scrappy Little Nobody holds. (Pre-shop here for $16.06.)
