My Life So Far by Jane Fonda
DID NOT FINISH: 54%

This is going to be the first autobiography that I do not finish. It was not a fun experience. It feels like the story is more about the various men in her life, and how they affect her, and less so about her. The first 12 chapters are particularly painful. Things get more interesting once she starts getting more involved in the Vietnam war, but it also seems to revolve around whoever she's dating or her father. My library hold is about to expire, I can't renew it because there are people behind me, so I'm just going to DNF it now so I can move on to my next book. 

I'm quite sure Ms. Fonda has led a very interesting life, but the way this book is written doesn't do it justice. Maybe I'll come back and revisit, but I got other much more interesting autobiography is lined up so if I do, it won't be for a while.
