| I came to this book as a fan of Werner Herzog's movies, and the book did not disappoint. This memoir reads less like a conventional autobiography and more like a collection of philosophical notes from a life lived at the edge of possibility. Herzog r ...more | |

| This is an old biography of Sean Connery, repackage after his passing. It doesn't add anything that any fan would already know. Connery was a very private man and very little is known about his thinking, his personal choice, and private life. This bo ...more | |

| With an attractive question for title, the book doesn't have a straight answer. And rightly so. We fight for many reasons. Sometimes for some reasons, other times for others. Reality defeated every attempt to develop one universal theory of cause of ...more | |

| I found Sir Patrick's life deeply inspiring, from his difficult and humble beginnings to become the much admired and loved actor of many great theater, TV, and film works. As someone who grew up with Capt. Picard in Star Trek, I always thought that h ...more | |
