Photographers biographies?

[bigtwinky]

I'm looking for some interesting photographer's biographies to read. I'm heading out to Australia and have lots of travel time ahead of me.

Any recommendations?

I've heard that the book by (or about) Annie Lebowitz is pretty good.
Have you read Joe McNally's books? Not really a biography but still a good read.

I have not yet had a chance to read his stuff, but I have heard it is good. Going to keep it on my short list
