Re: What Is Everyone Reading At the Moment?

Reading Pat Cash's autobiography called "Uncovered". Good read. Very blunt and honest, and to say he hates Ivan Lendl would be an understatement.

He's not my favourite person either. In fact far from it. I love Pat Rafter though. :-*

I'm currently on the 3th  ;) book of the Tomorrow Series by John Marsden. Action packed! That guy has been writing for teens for many years now and he's never lost touch.

I still can't wait to read the most recent Chaser Annual and Vernon God Little by DBC Pierre. And maybe that book about the guy who had his hand taken off by a rock and he ct it with his pocket knife and lived.  :eek:

Re: What Is Everyone Reading At the Moment?

how dare a bloke like pat cash even open his mouth about phillipoussis' nocturnal habits. his whole career he admitted to snorting coke. the rest of the time it is alleged he spent banging supermodels and then finally worrying about his tennis.
pat cash is just a loud mouth, over exposed, coke head know it all smart @rse.

Re: What Is Everyone Reading At the Moment?

Currently working my way through Aka's book.

An interesting read, particularly some of his comments regarding John Northey. Basically says that after about half a season the players felt as though they had heard it all before.

Apparently his pre match speeches generally involved '(insert team name and expletive here) are no good, they are soft, let's show them how good we are'.

Says that Walls was a much better coach as he gave more instruction, and was able to stay calm when required, but also able to fire up when appropriate.

Re: What Is Everyone Reading At the Moment?

And where does that leave me??? Not sure what the book says but I admired Lendl. Not the most gifted of tennis players, but worked his @rse off to achieve what he did... If only other recent Australian tennis players had a similar level of commitment....

The Shipping News and Struggletown.

I really liked VGL. My last holiday novel.

BTW I believe the object of Poker is to get a woman to take all her clothes off.
