You could always grab hold of Roger Mellies Profanosaurus, that'll keep you amused for hours and hours!
Does it come in book format?
If not, I'm sure you could download the latest "issue" from somewhere off t'interweb

Personally I find lots of autobiographies a bit predictable and bland.
However one book which I read a few years back has remained one of my favourites. Its a the autobiography of a girl called Sandra Gregory and the book is called Forget you ever had a daughter.
Its a gripping book which i can pretty much guarantee you'll love!

The Damned United if you've not already read it.
It's coming out on film later in the year however I'm sure the bnook will be better.
Great read for any footy fan.
Where you off too?

For fiction, i'd recomment the folloing authors. Perfect holiday fodder:
Christopher Brookmyre
Iain Banks
Terry Pratchett
Elmore Leonard
Lawrence Block
Robert Rankin
Won't go far wrong, and they've written about 300 books between them.

Coleen Rooney's autobiography "I know i've done fuck all but they're paying me a fortune" is also a captivating read.
