I heard LeBron's interview about his new memoir with Terry Gross on Fresh Aire. He's only 24, but from the sound of it, he has a lot to tell already.

For your inner-child (or perhaps there's a young, sports fan in your life), check out Family Huddle by Peyton, Eli, and Archie Manning. Peyton and Eli talked to Steve Inskeep about it on Morning Edition and it seems that it is somewhat of a memoire, but in the form of a children's book.
Now, the next 2 come from some of the Bravo TV cast that we love or perhaps love to hate. Either way, I imagine that curiousity will get many of us to go to the library or bookstore to pick these up.
In my case, I LOVE Kathy Griffin. Perhaps even funnier than her gossip-inspired stand-up is her D-List exploits on Bravo. I've started to think that she never really turns 'it' off. We know about her plastic surgery, her mom, and her claw-you-way-to-the-top mentality, but in the back of your mind you wonder if this is how she always is. In my case, my curiousity as well as Kathy's crazy, magnetic personality had me sneaking out to Border's and picking up her memoire, Official Book Club Selection: A Memoir According to Kathy Griffin. If you don't follow her on the D-List, I imagine her book will seem a little crazier than it does to the rest of us. Personally, though I have just begun, I'm enjoying the sporatic photos and personal stories as if this is just another episode of D-List. Check it out for yourself... but only if you think you can handle it. :)
While I was picking up Kathy's memoir I saw Nee (from Bravo's Real Housewives of Atlanta) staring back at me from the shelf. Apparently she the memoir-bug bit her too?! She's certainly entertaining, but in the words of NeNe, "Giiiiiiiirrl! Is she serious?" Everybody has a story to tell! Just letting you know that it's out there.
