All the ones co-authored/edited by Neil Strauss are pretty good. I think he's done the ones for:
Jenna Jameson
Marilyn Manson
Motley Crue
Dave Navarro
Smash Adams

Neil Strauss is the man
I have friends that actually study The Game and use it to get girls
I have a friend that is learning hypnotism because of the stuff he read in that book.

haha, I'm reading The Game right now. I find a lot of stuff in the book totally despicable and creepy, but I think that whole world is incredibly fascinating, and I'm loving the book.

I read Have a Nice Day back in high school and was pleasantly surprised. I'm not into wrestling whatsoever, but the guy has an interesting story and a unique voice.

Full Time - The Secret Life Of Tony Cascarino. It's a footballer's biography that's a great read, there's an excerpt available on Amazon.

I know this is an old thread, but I wanted to contribute this supremely interesting biography:

I would also like suggestions. I tend to like scientific figures, political figures, etc
