Favorite Autobiographies/Diaries ?

I believe "History is Biography".. I also believe documentaries and "the news" takes 2-3 sensational stories (out of 350 million Americans) and show them over and over (until the money/viewership/sponsors get sick of it) and it distorts reality. You won't see, "Today, there were no school shootings in _______"
In music and film, there are a few series of chronological interviews. For example, there's 107 books just for Directors!
(Conversations with Filmmakers Series)
"Hendrix on Hendrix", as well as many other diaries.. Bertrand Russell (3 volumes!) and another I'm skimming, Richard Burton, the actor.
One thing I love about e-books is having the ability to search keywords. Out of curiosity, what keywords do/would you search for? I usually use terms such as, "love", "hate", "favorite", "favourite", "tired" "sleep" "angry" "sad" .. as well as curse words, substances, and maybe the figures of that time period.
Do you have any favorites? I'd recommend Marlon Brando's autobiography, "Songs My Mother Sang To Me"

I wish the FBI hadn't taken down the Z-Library.. It was full of 20 million books, all for free. You would be recommended lots of similar things as well, and you were able to do FULL SEARCH, where you could type in someone's name, and see every book they're mentioned in. Or articles. And you were able to convert to RTF and read it on Wordpad.
I always voluntarily would ask if anyone wanted anything, that I'd send it to them, or post it somewhere, but maybe 1 out of a thousand would ever take advantage.

@CarolDM Publishers putting pressure along with authors perhaps. Copyright infringement. They had new books published immediately, and now without it, I guess it's time to stop collecting them, and read them, which is what I'm doing, but I'm changing songs, checking this and that. I'm all over the place!
