I recently finished Dalek I Loved You by Nick Griffiths. It's an autobiography of a British writer focused largely on his lifelong love of all things Doctor Who. Being more of a casual fan of the franchise, I wasn't sure if I would get lost with any of the potential references. The writer fortunately wrote his memoirs with an eye towards non-Who fans, and helpfully provided short episode and character descriptions as needed.
Doctor Who is a recurring theme, but the book does a particularly good job evoking the author's childhood in 1970's England. I thought the description of the author's later years wasn't quite as gripping. I enjoyed the read but am uncertain how someone completely unfamiliar to Doctor Who would take it.
