I like reading adventurous autobiographies and I would like some suggestions.
Usually climbing, mountaineering, cycling books but open to any sport / adventure. Ta

Mad Bad and Dangerous to Know, Ranulph Fiennes…

Nanga Parbat Pilgrimage, Hermann Buhl

Assume you have already read touching the void?
Steve House’s book is good

Nick Crane’s ‘Journey to the centre of the earth’, or ‘Clear waters rising’.
Both quite different, both excellent.

Anything by Tilman, Shipton or early Bonnington. Or Dave Roberts, Bradford Washburn or Fawcett.( not Ron, the Victorian explorer)

Barbarian Days: A Surfing Life
by William Finnegan

Steve Backshall – Mountain
Quite a surprising read, there’s a lot more to him than being a kids wildlife presenter.
Seen him speak a couple of times – nice, genuine bloke.

Currently reading this. It’s a bit less ‘action’ than other mountaineering books, but definitely worth a read/enjoyable.

Not quite an autobiography, but Shackleton ‘South’ is a must read.

You could try my friend Nathans book, he’s done a bit of adventuring.

Life on the Edge by Eric Jones

Absolutely brilliant chap and well worth chatting to him in his cafe in Porthmadog if you are ever up that way.

Francis Chichester – Lonely Sea and the Sky – one of the great adventure autobiographies.

Andy Cave, Learning to Breathe.

Anything by Jill Homer.

Not adventure or autobiography…but I recently read Gino Bartali’s biography…wow Giro and Tour winner and helped smuggle forged documents around Nazi controlled Italy to help Jews escape capture when training!

A Time of Gifts – Robin Leigh Fermoy

Karen Darke – If You Fall

Scott Jurek – Eat and Run

Not exactly what you asked for, but this book “Travel In Dangerous Places” is full of chapter-length extracts from all sorts of fascinating travel memoirs, mostly from the ‘Golden Age of Exploration’ i.e. just before various colonial takeovers really kicked off.

As such it’s quite fragmented but a good jumping-off point for finding the full accounts of ones you find interesting…

You don’t need to have ever surfed to enjoy it. It’s just an excellent book.

Caught inside and lighting out by Dan Duane are good too. Ones surf related, the other climbing Yosemite related.

Psychovertical
The ascent of Rum Doodle

If you read psychovertical it’s also worth reading the follow up Cold Wars
