    i also enjoyed this book - very diff from his earlier writings.

    i've been trying to think of other similar books but am not too sure -

    here's are a few of my old favorites that have a biographical tone or a child's perspective/narration. can't recall any recent book.

    Roots by Alex Haley

    Uncle Tom's Cabin

    One flew over the cuckoo's nest - Harper Lee

    My Experiments with Truth - M.K. Gandhi [Mahatma Gandhi's anecdotal autobiography mainly of his earlier years]

    Black Beauty by Anna Sewell

    Silas Marner - Thomas Hardy

    short stories by O Henry, Guy de Maupassant, Stephen Leacock

    Childhood by Maxim Gorky [ it's actually his autobiography - a set of 3 books. unfortunately, i've only read this first one & really enjoyed it]

    The Thornbirds - Colleen McCullough

    hope you read some of these & enjoy them.

    have fun
