This non-fiction book describe the strategy and events leading to the siege of Leningrad with great details. A rare insight to the life in a city where people are struggling to stay alive, fighting hunger and also trying to win a war. Though a rather sad recollection of incidents but I like the level of research gone in this work and also the fact it leaves you filled with a lot of emotions.

-Moab Is My Washpot by Stephen Fry
-Instrumental by James Rhodes
All of the above are autobiographies.
Craig and Stephen are two of my favourite celebrities and I loved reading their stories. Craig told a very honest and revealing story and his book will always stick with me. Stephen's first autobiography was brilliant and I adored it. I've read his other two (The Fry Chronicles and More Fool Me) as well, but neither of them could live up to Moab Is My Washpot.
I'm currently reading Instrumental by James Rhodes and so far it's been a very intense and heartbreaking ride. I love the way James writes and I love his wit and his brutal honesty. The way he writes about the love he feels for his son made me tear up multiple times and it's unbelievable what that man has been through in his life. No person should have to suffer the way he did (and still does).
