Harry O'Brien: It's cool to be conscious

[TheFreshBanana]

Thought I'd make a thread regarding Harry O'Brien's (now Heritier Lumumba) autobiography, It's Cool To Be Conscious.

I'll probably pick it up tomorrow.

Here's a video of Heritier introducing his book



Had a quick look, you can get it at $15 at Angus and Robertson. I suggest everyone to get one, and we can have a good discussion of it!

Not sure I could stomach this book. Might give it a wide berth. I mean yeh we know Harry has had a hard time, don't we just hear it about it enough now this and he's not even finished his career. Good on him for getting a book out but I definitely won't be reading it or buying it, I'd rather just watch the man play footy and I'll support him no matter what once the siren goes but thats where it ends.

Could be brilliant or terrible

I might wait to see how other people react to it first, he certainly thinks on a very interesting level.

Not for me, but he is a good dude who does good stuff.

Love him on the field for us................but not interested in reading that.


Sorry Heritier

Moral of the story is be nice to your mum

3 years ago he was my favourite player, seemed like a great humble young man

now, I cant stand seeing him off the football field.

I like to stay conscious and I fear if I read that book this would change before I finished.

 

[tazzawazza]

I'm definitely going to try and get it.

I'm a fan of H but that was pretty cringeworthy

And what was cringeworthy about it?

I'd love to, but I'm illiterate.

No thanks, Harry should be commended for using his position in the public eye to advocate for causes he's passionate about but every time I've heard him speak he sounds like a pseudo-intellectual, I doubt there's anything in the book of actual substance, his heart is in the right place but I think he desperately needed to build up some credibility before releasing a book.

 

[Scodog10]

Pass for me too. I give him a tick for his onfield work in 2013, but like Jerry I've gone cold on him off field.

What is this?! A reasonable post where you express a differing opinion, without resorting to childish attacks and attempts at trolling people? More of this, please.

My guess would be if most of the posters decided they wanted to buy Harrys book you would have bitten my head off for going against the grain but it seems most people agree here haha

 

[TheFreshBanana]

Bought the book.

My head is ready for biting.

Not at all. If you were a dick about it, maybe, but you weren't.

I like this new THATSGOLD.

[TradeDraft]

Good on you TFB
I'm interested to hear what you think of it, and what you learn from it

 

[eddiebankbalance]

What's it about?

What's it about?

Read the OP and watch the video?

Look H is a top player, and good on him for having a crack at something outside his comfort zone.

I don't know Heritier personally so I'm not interested in the nuts and bolts of his life story.

If this book does someone good then it was worth him writing it.

Hopefully it starts a new religion where people worship Collingwood.

So you're not interested in any biography or autobiographies?
