Project 365 Redux: 10th Jan 2013 - Read a book on my Kindle

This is one that while isn't particularly exciting, I'm very grateful that I was actually able to achieve at all given the amount of arsing about I had to go through to actually get a live working Kindle in my grubby little bear paws in the first place (first one didn't work out of the box for some random reason, second one got sent to my ex's house as I forgot to change the address on my Amazon account...).  Once I had it though, I was as happy as the proverbial pig in poop.  So I read a book. Which was this:

My tubby hero.

Having read his other books before, enjoyed his films (yes, even Jersey Girl although I have still to watch Cop Out) and being a HUGE fan of his various podcasts, of which my favourite is by far and away Hollywood Babble On with the awesome Ralph Garman, I suspected that this would be something relevant to my interests. Happily, I was not proved wrong.

I won't reveal too much about the book, mainly because I would suggest that if you enjoy the man's work then you should go read it for yourself. What I will say is that it's an amusing, interesting, sometimes heartbreaking, often insightful look at what you can achieve if you put your nuts on the chopping block once in a while and believe that you are capable of gaining what you truly desire. Which I think we can all agree is a noble idea and one that has served me well in recent months.

You can find said book on Amazon here:

And if you are interested in the podcast stuff and like the idea of the world of stage and screen being mocked without restraint, then do give Hollywood Babylon a try here:
