Aside from it being a terrible read and sloppy you could bring up a ton of discussion points on it and its shape through history etc. blah blah blah
 
The Autobiography Of Malcolm X is a great read. it was written by Alex Haley based on interviews conducted in 1964 and 1965 right before his death. i highly recommend it.
 
I ended up choosing Marilyn Manson. His actual name is Brian Warner, which still worked.

I've finished reading through his autobiography and I took a bunch of notes while I was reading through.

It was a fairly enjoyable read. It certainly wasn't as "intense" as it had been made out to be in some of the book reviews I'd read. But then I guess maybe I'm somewhat desensitised, like everyone else on the internet. The fact that it was written in 1998 also probably has something to do with it.

I actually have more respect for the guy after reading it.

As for the personality stuff. There are a lot of cases for introvert and a lot of cases for extravert, so I guess I can form some sort of discussion to do with that.

He also seems a perfect fit for the Trickster archetype.

The Story of My Experiments with Truth
An autobiography of M. Gandhi
 
The ultimate autobiography imo is Scar Tissue by Anthony Kedis the lead singer of the Red Hot Chili Peppers between him shooting heroin under a bridge, to the explanation of all the songs, meeting the Dalai Lama, or being stuck in the middle of the jungle and almost dying from some deep wilderness disease swinging from vines like tarzan and none of them even speak english... I could go on it was mind blowing. His dad sells drugs to celeberties he ends up living with his Dad and has sex with one of his dads girlfriends at 12 years old which starts a laundry list of partners (those stories in themselves are worth the book).

Autobiography of a Yogi is also an interesting read im told ive only read half of the first chapter.
