Oh I love that kind of thing. Anything that tries to answer the deeper questions without all the padding and guff others seem to add, as though expecting to be writing for a docile audience. I love to be challenged.

I don't know if it counts as memoirs, more like small anecdotes really. But how about The Book Of Shadows by Don Paterson. It's basically a book of small and witty anecdotes that poke fun at life's little "foibles" as well as providing long known personal truths. For some reason I always find it in the Poetry section of the local bookstore which is odd.
