Recommend me books like pic rel. I know Casanova is probably untoppable in terms of sheer quantity of unbelievably interesting stuff described in an autobiography but I'd like recommendations of anything close. Could be memoirs of military expeditions, love affairs, adventures, revolutions, criminal enterprises, anything. Just as long as it's ostensibly nonfiction, and incredibly interesting.

Woke up bright and early at 3pm.

Today I stared at my pissbottles until mother left to go shopping so I could use the microwave.

Then I played Stellaris for 14 hours. Might wash tomorrow.

Ulysses Grant's memoir. Probably not as diverse in action as Casanova's book. It does have one quality that most memoirs don't, and that is it actually goes to the end, I believe he finished it only 10 days before he died, although I could be wrong. Of course seeing the American Civil war through the head of the Union army should interest you enough. His writing is also very clear and easy to read.
