I would agree with your statement - I don’t engage well with fiction characters I don’t enjoy but really enjoy autobiographies for their perspective. I am in a kick of listening to them when they are read by the author (assuming the author is an engaging narrator). There have been a few moments where the author/narrator’s inflection/tone have added to my understanding of their intention for the passage - times when a smugness shows thru or a hint of a laugh is in the narration that I wouldn’t have necessarily read into the passage if reading. I just finished and can recommend Born a Crime by Trevor Noah and Will by Will Smith if you are looking for suggestions - both particularly good audiobooks. Each has a lot to discuss in its own way - Trevor Noah’s was an eye opener into Apartheid in South Africa and Will was complicated - I went back and forth trying to decide if he was likable or not and ultimately decided he’s just human and appreciated his honesty and introspection. Both great tho.
