Keep on keepin' on

Part of my ‘101 in 1001’ is to read ten auto/biographies of people I admire.  I was surprised that there really aren’t that many people whose life story I would read when I sat down and thought about it.  I’m currently on my second biography but this is the post about my first.

“Moab is my Washpot” is the autobiography of Stephen Fry’s first

I love Stephen Fry! That sounds like one I'll have to read.

You know, I don't know if I'd *recommend* it, per se. It was... interesting and very warts-and-all. BUT let me know what you think if you do read it. What I do recommend are his fiction books, I've read a few and they're very clever and witty indeed. AND his podcasts. He's only done six I think but each of them are just brilliant!

Ooh, I've never tried his fiction! I'm working through his book on poetry, 'The Ode Less Travelled', and it's brilliant!

Wow that book sounds intense. Even though I am starting to develop a warm appreciation of Stephen Fry I don't think I'm up for reading that. Especially as I haven't even finished Russell Brand's Booky Wook and its just 300 pages of fluff. Congratulations on finishing it :)

Stephen (I feel weird calling him Stephen! It's got to be Stephen Fry) likes to go off onto tangents which is what it sounds like with Russell Brand's book. However, I think RB's might be even stranger!!

I am slowly making my way through my list!!
