In my fall books preview, experts within the $23-billion book industry said the coming season would trend toward fiction by A-list authors and a long list of autobiographies and biographies. As new titles continue to appear, the part about autobiographies and biographies seems understated. Here’s a sampling of same, some juicer than others, and a few now on best-seller lists:

AUTOBIOGRAPHY

A Bold Fresh Piece of Humanity (Broadway, $26) by Bill O’Reilly, the multi-Emmy Award-winning host of Fox News’ The O’Reilly Factor.

A Fortunate Life by Robert Vaughn (Thomas Dunne, $25.95), the Oscar-nominated star of TV’s The Man From U.N.C.L.E and, more recently, Hustle.

American Prince by Tony Curtis (Harmony, $25.95), who was nominated for an Academy Award in 1958 for The Defiant Ones, but whose most memorable role was more likely the jazz musician who wooed Marilyn Monroe in Some Like It Hot.

Don’t Mind If I Do (Touchstone, $26) by George Hamilton, who is more known for his tan and his friendships with hundreds of women than for his resume, which includes the starring role in Zorro: The Gay Blade.

In Spite of Myself by Christopher Plummer (Knopf, $26.95), the Tony- and Emmy Award-winning master of stage, TV and movies (The Sound of Music).

BIOGRAPHY

Hitler by Ian Kershaw (W.W. Norton, $39.95): The award-winning historian has written what the New York Review of Books calls “the classic Hitler biography of our time.” Using previously unmined material, Kershaw points to events in Hitler’s life and political career that heralded the terrors the madman would bring to Europe.

Richard Burton: Prince of Players by Michael Munn (Skyhorse, $24.95): Stage and screen star Burton made his share of mistakes, including remarrying Elizabeth Taylor after they divorced, and refusing the lead role in the multi-Oscar- winning Lawrence of Arabia (as did Marlon Brando).

Sinatra in Hollywood by Tom Santopietro (Thomas Dunne, $29.95): The author has written biographies of Barbra Streisand and Doris Day. Here, he focuses on how Sinatra’s persona meshed with his movie roles.

Somebody by Stefan Kanfer (Knopf, $26.95): The veteran biographer and former Time magazine film critic presents a study of Marlon Brando on- and off-screen. It’s a rich, well-researched portrait of the man considered to have been the finest actor of the 20th century.

Tried by War: Abraham Lincoln as Commander in Chief by James M. McPherson (Penguin, $35): True, President Lincoln had almost no military experience upon entering the White House. However, he quickly showed himself to be a brilliant strategist whose role as head of the Union Army helped win the war. So contends the Civil War historian.
