    I am just about done with it, as I only got it recently due to the delay in shipping from the English Amazon site. I have really enjoyed reading it and learning more about his story and his overall character. He is just as genuine in his book as he was when I talked with him in Indianapolis. So, who else is reading it and what do you think?

    Getting it for Xmas I think!!, respect for getting to chat with him that would be a feat over here now.

    My only thoughts on him is that he appears to be to good to be true, but seeing him interviewed on Parkinson the other day he ticked all the boxes sense of humour ect..we shall see..:)

    I was always told that the winners write history, apparently not always :D

    I can think of many world leaders and distinguished individuals who published their own autobiographies...

    i've always read books from Sir Richard Branson, Jack Welsh, Warren Buffet, etc.

    great to see how they come up, and their views on certain things. i hope to see a MS book here by Xmas.

    Has Schumi written an autobiography?

    I'll read Lewis' after he has won 7 WDC and after I have read Michael's. ;)

    Yes, but the unauthorized biography is more fun to read. :)
