Just finished Earth to Moon: A Memoir, by Moon Unit Zappa.

Wow! What a weird and disturbing upbringing Moon had. It doesn't reflect at all well on her parents, Frank and Gail Zappa.

Very interesting and immensely readable.

Earth to Moon by Moon Unit Zappa review – waspish, funny account of life as Frank Zappa’s daughter

This memoir about being fathered by the 70s rock oddball and ‘pagan absurdist’ is an extraordinary tale of survival

About an ex RMP servicing in Afghanistan and how he coped in prison for about 4 months with the threat of a minimum of 2 years. Good read on how he coped mentally.

Started listening to this - 45 mins in .

Writer is autistic and explains due to that his particular preferred writing style which is a 3rd person narrative.
There is no exchanged narrative between characters - they and their actions are only referred in the 3rd person.

Sounds like that could be tiresome or difficult? actually very easy and enjoyable to listen too.
