I fancy a few to download on the Kindle. Can anyone recommend any?

I am particuarly interested in old movie stars, rock stars, boxers and major historical figures, like Ceasar. I would really be interested in something about Henry Ford.

Can you help?

Brighton - even Hove!

I've got all 1st editions of Dirk Bogarde's and Winston Churchill....Bill Bryson's 'The Life and Times of the Thunderbolt Kid' is about him growing up in the USA in the 1950's "when smoking and nuclear fallout was healthy" lol....

David Niven's 'The Moons a Balloon' series is excellent. As mentioned above.

Apparently John McEnroe's is quite funny and a good read.

Chris Eubank's is pretty good.

As is Geoff Thompson's (as well as his other books)

Napoleon Bonaparte is the most biographied person in history, and perhaps the most interesting.

There's so many good (and indeed terrible) books about him, it's hard to choose but Frank Mclynn's fairly recent effort is well worth a read.

Not sure if you've read it, but The Secret Footballer is meant to be a pretty good read

little house on the praire

Is that it -bob geldof. He wrote it before band aid, in fact the book finishes with the begining of live aid, its a good read but it was before he became "proper" famous not just for fronting a pop band

Also Frank skinner is a good one
