19. The Atlantic, by Simon Winchester

Really loved this book, most of which I listened to the author read on an audio. It was so good that I brought a hardcover version to return to at will.
Others: Patty Smith's aforementioned "Just Kids" was the best of the three autobiographicals I read, the others being Roseanne Cash's "Composed" and Mr. Richard's first half -good "Life".
Just finishing up Erik Larson's "In the Garden of Beasts", which is the quite interesting recounting of William Dodd's tenure as Ambassador to Germany in the early 1930's during the rise of Hitler's horrors.
Btw, if you like autobiographies, try Quincy Jones's. Regardless if you are familiar with Mr. Jones's work or not, this book is a fascinating reveal of American musical history.
