I need help finding a personal memoir?

Next year I'm taking AP 11th grad English and we have a summer assignment to do. We have to write two to three pages of concise, informal notes, focus on the way the author portrays herself or himself, and the details he/she includes that reveal these character traits.





So, basically I'm asking of a list of books that are of personal memoirs/memoirs. I would like ones that relates to someone my age and about something interesting. xD





Thanks to anyone who replies.

Any of David Sedaris' nonfiction books. There is some debate about how factual it all is and he does admit to exaggeration, but it's funny.


Any of Augusten Bourroughs books (except Sellevision).


The Glass Castle by Jeanette Walls


A Long Way Gone by Ismael Beah about a child soldier in Africa.
