Default Re: Memoirs

Catch Me If You Can is a great book. I remember reading it maybe a year or two before the movie came out and thinking 'how is this not a movie' because it's just such an amazing story. Especially when you factor in that most of his criminal career took place between the ages of 16-21.
The movie doesn't even really do any justice to his story.

I thought the book version of Blow was very good. Definitely worth reading.

While not really a memoir 'Junky' by W. Burroughs is a great book about his heroin addiction.
