Open:
An Autobiography
by Andre Agassi
Agassi's
incredibly rigorous training begins when he is just a child. By the
age of thirteen, he is banished to a Florida tennis camp that feels
like a prison camp. Lonely, scared, a ninth-grade dropout, he rebels
in ways that will soon make him a 1980s icon. He dyes his hair,
pierces his ears, and dresses like a punk rocker. By the time he
turns pro at sixteen, his new look promises to change tennis
forever, as does his lightning-fast return.

American
on Purpose:
The Improbable Adventures of an Unlikely Patriot
by Craig Ferguson
In
this autobiography, Craig Ferguson delivers a moving and achingly
funny memoir of living the American dream as he journeys from the
mean streets of Glasgow, Scotland, to the comedic promised land of
Hollywood. Along the way he stumbles through several attempts to
make his mark once as a punk rock musician, a construction worker, a
bouncer, and, tragically, a modern dancer.
