Autobiography

Victoria Beckham is the subject of an "autobiography", Learning to Fly. The book was the 3rd best selling non-fiction title of 2001, and has been translated into several Asian languages. Ironically, Victoria Beckham told a Spanish journalist in 2005 that she had never read a single book in her entire life, not even her autobiography; according to the Daily Mail, '"I haven't read a book in my life," she said. "I haven't got enough time. I prefer to listen to music, although I do love fashion magazines."' Despite the fact that these words are actually featured in the September 2005 issue of Chic, the Spanish magazine featuring the interview, Victoria says she had been misquoted. In fact, according to a recent interview to sky.com, 'The singer said she had been misquoted earlier this month. "It was an interview I did for a Spanish magazine, and what I said was that I never seem to finish books. I always start them, get distracted, and never seem to get the time to finish - I'm sure all mothers with three boys know what I mean. And as for the cynics who had said I'm jeopardising my boys' future knowledge, don't be so ridiculous. Of course we read books together."'
