'Life' by Keith Richards. Only just started it but its looking like a very good autobiography. To quote the New Yorker; 'A slurry romp through the life of a man who knew every pleasure, denied himself nothing, and never paid the price'.

Bess of Hardwick, First Lady of Chatsworth by Mary S.Lowell, Bess led a full and interesting life, she really knew how to take care of business, started out with a started with a dowry of the equivalent of £2000 in today's money and died the second richest woman in England. The book gives a good insight into the politics of the Elizabethan era in particular how the Queen leeched of the people who served her, so no change here then.
