I got back into reading this year and my first book was Jeanette McCurdy’s memoir “I’m Glad My Mom Died”. Since then, I’ve also read Stanley Tucci’s “Taste: My Life Through Food”, and Anthony Bourdain’s “Kitchen Confidential”. I have a number of other memoirs on my TBR, such as Chanel Miller’s “Know My Name”, Kal Penn’s “You Can’t Be Serious”, and Tara Westover’s “Educated”. Would love more recommendations!

[The Glass Castle](https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/7445) by Jeannette Walls
[I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings](https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/13214) by Maya Angelou
The Moon’s a Balloon by David Niven followed by Bring on the Empty Horses.
Niven is a congenial host. He talks to you like an old friend and is very candid. He has many interesting tales about WWII, golden age Hollywood etc.
The Sound of Gravel by Ruth Wariner is great; it’s similar to Educated but I liked this one more.
Yes, Chef by Marcus Samuelsson and 32 Yolks by Eric Ripert (who was close friends with Bourdain) are also both good.
Stolen Lives by Malika Oufkir is fascinating.
