The Fry Chronicles by Stephen Fry

I've just finished reading this, the second volume of autobiography by Stephen Fry. It covers his time at Cambridge University and the early part of his career in showbusiness.

I've read a few of Fry's books in the past and I enjoyed most of them. I also like most of the stuff he does on TV. This autobiography is interesting in that it shows us how hard he worked to get where he is today. He also seems to suffer from a suprising lack of self confidence. I'm too young to remember his very early TV work and much of that is described here.

This book is worth a read but I would seek out his first volume (moab is my washpot I think) first. It has the juicy prison stuff.
