I enjoy a good autobiographyand John Osborne's 'Never Explain, Never Apologise' is probably the best title of anything ever. For those not in the know, he's a British playwright who wrote 'The Entertainer' and the utterly glorious 'Look Back In Anger' the title of which defines his oeuvre really. He is a bitter, resentful, fantastically erudite and articulate man whose turn of phrase and mastery and glorification of the delightful and delicious English language makes reading utterly worthwhile.
Honourable mention to Peter Ustinov's autobiography which comes a close second.
But the best book ever is 'Gormenghast' by Mervyn Peake - bindun? Dunno?
