My Autobiography (1964) by Sir Charles Chaplin


brilliant! it was touching, entertaining, heart-warming, funny, and honest and sincere. indeed, every page was a good read. he fed me with enthusiasm and passages to live by. there are so many words you could use to describe it, but the best thing i could do is to love and embrace his art.

truly, he's one of the most important figures in the 20th century. the beginning was an honest telling of his Dickens-like life. moreover, it was nice to read those people, who mostly made a name in their own different profession, he met during his travels. a non-Chaplin fan may get tired of it, but it was worth a read. it was very touching to read the end part where of all the fame and fortune, and despite the ups and downs, he was able to be at peace and get what he wanted: happiness that sprouted from his struggles in life.
