* SawStarWarsTwentySevenTimes: Stephen confesses that in his schoolboy days, he and a few friends went to movie theaters to see ''Film/AClockworkOrange'', ''Film/TheGodfather'' and ''{{Cabaret}}'' over and over again, each film having different elements that appealed to him at the time.

From TheOtherWiki:

In the book, Fry is [[SelfDeprecation candid about his many weaknesses]], including stealing, cheating and lying. The book covers some of the same ground as in Fry’s first novel, ''The Liar'', published in 1991. In that work, public schoolboy Adrian Healey falls in love with a boy called Hugo Cartwright; in the autobiography, 14-year-old Fry becomes besotted with 13-year-old "Matthew Osborne".

Fry also writes about his older brother, Roger; Bunce, the new boy at his prep school, Stouts Hill; Jo Wood, his best friend at Uppingham, and Oliver Derwent, a prefect who "seduces" Fry.
