(Auto)Biographies and Memoirs

I recently read "On Writing" by Stephen King and found it very enjoyable. The book is broken into two sections; the first being an autobiography and the second being tips for aspiring writers. I bought it for the second part and while I thought he offered excellent advice and insight, his personal story turned out to be far more interesting than I expected. Particularly wrenching was his account of being hit by a van while out for a walk one day and how that changed his life.

It was a quick and easy read but quite interesting.
