Modern Memoirs

[Pacion]

As a rule, I dislike modern memoirs. They are generally written by people who have either entirely lost their memories, or have never done anything worth remembering.

Personally, I agree with with the second part. There has been a flood of "autobiographies" by "famous" people under the age of 30. Hmmmm.

Pacion, I agree with the second one also. BTW, when are you going to write yours... :wink: :wink:

Thanks for asking MLS, I thought no one would ask! :wink: :lol: Well, seeing as I am still a mere 21 years of age, it will be another 9years 1 month before I write mine :lol:

As well as a rash of autobiographies by people who just happened to be in the spotlight of some news story at the time of signing a book deal. Oddly enough, those books often end up in the discount bin within a year. I wonder why .... :roll: :lol:

autobiographies are not about cars!
