Turns out he ordered a re-release of his early 2000’s book in error, although it’s quite sneaky how they’ve put a recent photo of Ronnie on this one
Read through about half of it and I’m quite surprised of how subdued he was as a kid, at least away from the snooker table
My Brother did order the latest one for me too, so I’ve got that to read as well afterwards

Think Ronnie’s will be the only ones I read, maybe Jimmy White’s
Graeme Dott has a book?

I know he did deal with really bad depression at one stage, so I’m sure it’ll be interesting to read the paths it took him down and how he overcame that period of his life

Yes, Audible membership is 16.45 per month here and you get 1 book included to keep, and while you're a member you can listen to any book that's in their Plus catalogue as well.The Thorn wrote: ↑Fri Jan 12, 2024 6:35 pmNice.

I paid $144 for a 12 month membership in June which gives me 12 books. I'll probably cancel after that as I will still have heaps of books to get through.
I've chosen mainly politics and history books, I don't like listening to fiction.
