Autobiographies

Why do people write their autobiographies? It is a popular activity these days and it is common for “celebrities” to engage in this fashionable idea. Does it set the record straight? To make known the real facts so that earlier judgements people have made need to be reconsidered? Until that time it must involve judgements made through speculation and assumption. And information communicated via the media. Perhaps I’ll do mine - one day, but be at rest, this will not be for quite a while I expect!

There is also the financial angle. Very important! You have to take into account that what is written is actually there to pander to readers. To be sycophantic. To suck up and flatter the idiot. How can you assess accuracy? Be careful about what you read. It might pay you dividends if you don’t buy the book. Save your money and ignore it.

Use your intelligence and make your choice.
