    I prefer fiction myself but I got this book for my dad for christmas - he is a big fan of QI - and he totally loves it. This is an autobiography of the first twenty years of stephen frys life (I don't know if there are further autobiographies available to cover more of his life) and is apparently very funny, especially the stuff to do with his childhood. This was a big hit as a christmas present and my dad has laughed so much reading it that I might actually read this myself even.

    Moab is My Washpot is in turns funny shocking tender delicious sad lyrical bruisingly frank and addictively readable. Stephen Fry's bestselling memoir tells how sent to a boarding school 200 miles from home at the age of seven he survived beatings misery love ecstasy carnal violation expulsion imprisonment criminal conviction probation and catastrophe to emerge at eighteen ready to try and face the world in which he had always felt a stranger. When he was fifteen he wrote this in a letter to himself not to be read until he was twenty-five: 'Well I tell you now that everything I feel now everything I am now is truer and better than anything I shall ever be. Ever. This is me now the real me. Every day that I grow away from the me that is writing this now is a betrayal and a defeat.' Whether the real Stephen Fry is the man now living or the extraordinary adolescent now dead only you will be able to decide.
