Anthony Burgess' two volumes come to mind as one of the best ever though.

Robert Graves on his WW1 experience was also good

To this sub-thread of good ones, I'd say George Orwell's are pretty great as well, I loved Down & Out in Paris & London and The Road to Wigan Pier... I haven't read Homage to Catalonia yet, but I've heard that people think it's his best book

Those are a far cry from "memoirs of my 2 year millennial media career in Astoria, Queens" that make the rounds nowadays. "Homage to Takealonia"

Stick with the classics , avoid anything by a buzzfeed writer telling us about their youth and young personhood
