 | Growing Up Brady: I Was a Teenage Greg, Special Collector's Edition by Barry Williams/Chris Kreski

 | Iacocca by Lee Iacocca
Buy new: $10.20 / Used from: $1.15 Who'd have thought I'd love an autobiography from a car maker? But this is so much more. It's politics, creativity, friendship, workaholism and How To Succeed When You Really Try.

 | Looking Back: A Chronicle of Growing Up Old in the Sixties by Joyce Maynard
Buy new: $13.45 / Used from: $11.98 Clearly Maynard peaked at the age of eighteen. I included her expose of J. D. Salinger ("At Home In The World") on another Listmania, I have no respect for her, but this books includes the most minute details of growing up in the sixties. Fascinating.

 | Truman by David McCullough
Buy new: $15.84 / Used from: $0.88 Best of the best, and Truman's presidency saw so many events, so many changes...and he was just a good ol' boy from Missouri. Superb read.

 | What Falls Away: A Memoir by Mia Farrow
Buy used from: $0.01 I'm including this on the "good" list only because Mia Farrow is such a freak that it IS a good book.
Listen: if Woody Allen can't stand you, you're a mess. 'Nuff said.
