Moab Is My Washpot, by Stephen Fry. An autobiography of his first 30 years, Moab is at times annoyingly self-indulgent and otherwise brilliant. In case the reader had any doubts, Fry convincingly demonstrates the qualities of a well-educated man of words, with a heavy dose of self-destruction and pathos, but enough self-awareness to take the piss out of himself and his flaws. Interesting, amusing, thought-provoking and hard to put down. 4 out of 5.
