If you read a lot of chick lit, you have probably read or heard of a few books that I enjoyed which are "She's Come Undone" by Wally Lamb and "Love Invents Us" by Amy Bloom. I also enjoyed Elizabeth Wurtzel's "Prozac Nation." I'm thinking those are pretty standard chic lit.
I also really enjoyed Frank McCourt's "Angela's Ashes" and his follow up books that I can't remember the names of right now. His brother Malacay McCourt also wrote an autobiography which is very interesting because although he and Frank grew up together their tales of the same events vary. Also, Frank grows up to have more of a shame based personality due to adversities of his childhood, Malacay basically said my childhood sucks and being poor sucks and not being anyone that matters sucks and I'm going to make more of myself. Franks book are better than Malacay's though.
I love biographys because...welll, I guess cause I'm nosey.

I have read Anegla's Ashes and the sequel, Tis, and I love both. Fantastic books IMO and I still think that part where he threw up in his grandma's backyard on the day of his communion and what followed was hilarious.
I basically have stopped reading chick lit (it felt like the same story over and over again with unrealistic people, which got on my nerves after a while), but I'll definitely check out Chelsea Handler.
