O autumn leaf brown and frail
Devoid of your former glory
Resigned to spend your final days

It's true! Julia Roberts will be narrating Leonard and Hungry Paul.

She read the book when it came out and her agent got in touch to say she really liked it. But I never thought things would go this far.

What ever happened to real men? Big red-faced men who would lean over to you in a pub as you had your Club Orange that had to last you the full match and say things like “Here, do you know what I can’t get over?! A big wall!” And then roar with laughter. All snowflakes and woke now.
