great fucking book !!! this is the format i wish all movie stars would write - instead of their usual bios.

Grant writes it diary form - exclusively talking about his involvement in films - film by film (starting with Withnail and I)

great reading !
i was totally disappointed in american gods - i really felt it had a great premise but couldn't muster anything to pull it off. reinforced my general feeling that gaiman is way overrated.

but, if you liked that, and want a slightly more 'literary' take on the same general theme - check out The Minotaur Takes a Cigarette Break (or something close to that) - i liked this one but was a little underwhelmed by the ending.
