Spam at #3 (Surviving the Fourth Cycle) and #4 (Adversity Builds Character).

Sad.

This list made me realize that by far most of the memoirs/auto-biographies I own are written by women...

Removed "Profiles in Courage" which is not a memoir. I don't think some of the others are memoirs, either. "Maus" and "Managing Bubbie" are telling the story of other people, not the author's own story.

Someone changed the title of the list, so I reverted back to the list creator's original. I don't understand the point of going around constantly changing lists other people have made.

There is spam currently sitting at the #3 position. Such Unfortunates by Andrew Mann.

This list has been manipulated to have 'such unfortunates' at number three. If you look at all the accounts that voted for it, all of them were created recently, all of them voted only once for this book and all of them have 0 friends. Please remove this book.

Although you are undoubtedly right, I'm afraid I can't do that, as there is one voter who voted 2 out of 2.... But the creator of this list is a librarian herself, and as the creator of the list it is her prerogative to remove books from this list. So, ... send her a message, I'd say 🙂

I agree, it's up to the list creator.

The other option to have more people to vote for legitimate books so this one gets knocked out of the top 5.

It's annoying, though. The author is spamming this book everywhere. He and his team are adding it to lists for fiction, even though it appears to be non-fiction, and YA even though it appears to be adult. I even found it on a list for MM romance novels!

I am the list creator. I hate spam voting. :)

"Managing Bubbie" @11 doesn't appear to fit the list definition, plus the vast majority of "people" who voted for it appear to be sock puppet accounts.

#485 The Road by Cormac McCarthy is fiction....

Thanks for the heads up. I removed The Road.

Promotional author spam in the #3 position. :(

Removed.

What a great, enduring story of survival! These kids are fighters!

Corrie ten Boom is a woman, so I deleted her memoir...

The Philosophy of Being Vegan: Journey to Wellness A compelling personal story that illustrates how plant‑based living healed my body and spirit.

I'm trying to learn the ropes on goodreads. I'm an author of a memoir. Male, which is why this list got my attention. How can I get my book on this list? Thank you.

Did cleanup on this list and removed a bunch of third-person biographies, books by women, irrelevant promotional spam, some erotica, and so on.

Into the Wild by Jon Krakauer isn't what I would call a memoir; it's really a bio of Chris McCandless.

Into Thin Air is more of a memoir.
