Willie's Game
Has anyone read 'Willie's Game'? I thought this was a good book and gave me a good insight to him as a person. It was an edited autobiography. I didn't love him as a person after reading this but didn't think he was a bad person either. It is very sad that he didn't love the game of pool - to him it was more of a job. His father pushing his expo's for money as a child, later having to win to eat, later his father being disabled and having to support him as well, LONG packed exhibition tours for mediocre money, etc. etc. I think all influenced his idea of pool as work. But he was the best and proved it over and over and over hand you have to respect him for that.
