Believe Me

I love Eddie Izzard and it was interesting to get inside his head a bit. I especially enjoyed reading in his own words his relationship to gender. In places, his trademark humor shines through – there are certain stories you can imagine him using in his stand-up (or that you may recognize from his stand-up). But for the most part, this book is a serious memoir, and I think you might have to be a super hardcore fan (or one of the teachers or classmates mentioned by name) to really get enthusiastic about Eddie relating seemingly every minor detail he can remember from his childhood for posterity.
