Just finished the 2nd book. Very enjoyable.Titus Groan
First of the Gormenghast books. Has been an interesting, if not slow, introduction.
Finished this a couple of days ago. It got a bit boring tbh, he came across as somewhat full of himself (understandable I suppose) and a lot of the golf stuff towards the end was like a non-stop advert for Callaway.I bought Alice Cooper's golf monster three days ago, great read very interesting and being an Alice fan was very much into how he started out .both in rock and golf .
It is currently being sent to Lord Tyrion as he has expressed a wish to read it . I'm sure when he has finished with it that he can pass it on to another who would like a good and interesting read .
Just finished this, thanks to @Norrin Radd . Some good stories, clearly an interesting life. His ego though . Mahooosive . I lost count of the number of 1sts he lays claim to..........Not shy about blowing his own trumpet.Finished this a couple of days ago.

One thing I found strange - he talks at great length about his alcohol addiction, but there is absolutely no mention in the book of his cocaine addiction. He is quite happy to discuss other folks drug use, but he denies using himself. The book was written in 2007, but it was years later before he finally admitted being a cocaine addict.Just finished this, thanks to @Norrin Radd . Some good stories, clearly an interesting life.

Anyway, a good read and as per the concept started by Norrin, if the next person who would like to read it says so, on this thread, then I'll post it to them.
That's interesting. As you say, he is keen to say he never had anything to do with drugs . Seems odd when he talks consistently about his alcoholism. Maybe he sees some sort of moral difference between the twoOne thing I found strange - he talks at great length about his alcohol addiction, but there is absolutely no mention in the book of his cocaine addiction.

Interesting read here.

Just started it, but putting it down now for an hour or so. Turning more later ;-)Secret - Jack Reacher. As per normal but a slightly different plot. A good read and page turner.
Bit of an odd question - who was the actress whose name AC said you should say to yourself when hitting a golf ball? Short first name on the backswing, long surname on the way thru.Anyone wanting to read the Alice Cooper book, Golf Monster, please let me know. I'll post it to you, then you do the same for the next person.
I've quickly skimmed the book and apparently Johnny Miller told him 'Cindy Crawford' was the name to say during the swing. That sound right or do I have to keep goingBit of an odd question - who was the actress whose name AC said you should say to yourself when hitting a golf ball?

It was a decent tip, but I went to the range today and couldn’t remember her name for the life of me. It really bugged me!
haha - yes that's right!I've quickly skimmed the book and apparently Johnny Miller told him 'Cindy Crawford' was the name to say during the swing. That sound right or do I have to keep going
