The Peripatetic Reader (James Kalomiris) –
If you are like me and enjoy living vicariously by reading about the misdeeds and generally abhorrent conduct of the rich or famous — rock or movie stars or politicians — well, this book is for you. This book describes the reckless, alcohol and drug addled lives and times of Richard Burton, Richard Harris, Peter O’Toole, and Oliver Reed.The stories told in this book are anecdotal but taken together present a picture consistent to all these actors: They were all enormously talented, and while each starred in their share of lose movies, each took part in some of the greatest films from the last fifty years.They all had a deep indifference to, distrust and/or disgust of authority, and whenever these thespians expressed that indifference, distrust or disgust they all, in contemporary terms, “acted out.†This is by far the most entertaining portion of the book. That indifference, distrust or disgust was expressed in different ways. Richard Burton made sure that he bedded as many women as possible. Oliver Reed went out of his way to intimidate anyone he came into contact. Richard Harris and Peter O’Toole did whatever they fool well felt like doing, irrespective of social convention.And alcohol. They all drank like a fish and smoked like a chimneys. Richard Burton could put away two bottles of vodka before 2:00 in the afternoon. The book relates that when Burton was undergoing surgery on his back due to chronic back problems, they discovered that there were alcohol crystals up a.

Gossip makes the world go around and confirmed true gossip is the best kind especially when it involves high profile celebrities. The four Irish actors presented here were stage and screen actors extraordinary. Well let’s say all but Oliver Reed who never seemed close to breaking through to stardom the way O’Toole, Harris and Burton did. Oliver Reed was also the only one of the group who came from a well to do family. The point of this book is to entertain the reader with story after story of these four actors drinking with many other theatrical talents indulged in what can only be described as inappropriate behavior. There self-destructive behavior in all but O’Toole’s case resulted in their early deaths and the squandering of their talent. O’Toole said it was marvelous to wake up in the morning and not know what country he was in. He is alive today because in his 40s he had to quit drinking or die (so he took up smoking and laid off alcohol). My favorite of the group is Peter O’Toole and my favorite O’Toole story is: “When (Peter) Finch was working in Ireland in the early 60s O’Toole joined him one night for a drink but the pub refused to serve them because it was after closing time. Both stars decided that the only course of action was to buy the pub, so they wrote out a cheque for it on the spot. The following morning after realizing what they’d done the pair rushed back to the scene of the crime. Luckily the landlord hadn’t cashed the cheque yet and disaster was averted.

If there was a Mount Rushmore for drunks, these guys would be on it, probably along with Liz Taylor. Anecdotes out the wazoo on the drinking lives of these guys, and a lot of it gets repetitive at times, especially with Oliver Reed’s antics. I just thought I knew what a heavy drinker was, until I read this book. Whew! Somewhat sad and sobering but it also had numerous belly laughs throughout. Reading this was like seeing a bad train or car accident. You know you shouldn’t but you just can’t keep…moreIf there was a Mount Rushmore for drunks, these guys would be on it, probably along with Liz Taylor.

I just thought I knew what a heavy drinker was, until I read this book. Whew! Somewhat sad and sobering but it also had numerous belly laughs throughout. Reading this was like seeing a bad train or car accident. You know you shouldn’t but you just can’t keep from looking and at the same time being glad you’re not a victim. In this case just being glad you’re not a boozer. These guys left quite a trail of empty bottles and broken relationships. Numerous stories include John Wayne, Clint Eastwood, Robert Mitchum, Lee Marvin, Russel Crowe, Rex Harrison, Keith Moon and many, many others of stage and screen.

If there was ever a reason to encourage alcoholism it could be found in this book!! Mon Dieu what drinkers these thespians were!! Not only raises the question how did they survive so long but even more the mystery how did they find time learn their lines. Burton’s 5 hour Hamlet is not exactly a bit part in Seinfeld or Friends or some other lower orderly rubbish. (Now O’Toole is on the wagon or taken the pledge) and become a bit of a bore so his friends say. Never realized also what an insatiable womanizer Burton was. So satyriasis, alcoholic, misogynist and greatest Shakespearean next to Olivier and Geilgud. How is this possible? Great anecdote about Burton, Bacall and Bogie who all became unlikely close friends and members of the mutual admiration Society. And Bogie on a drunk, knocking on someone’s front door in some bucolic neighborhood in the early morn and asking for breakfast. Can you imagine that glorious bit of Serendipity for the unassumimg good Cleaver family. To include Oliver Reed with these other 3 giants is a bit of a stretch in the acting and talent department, but not in the indulgences. He perhps was the most depraved of them all. Perhaps the book has a bit of hyperbole, but many good stories and stoytellers are permitted such use and abuse. Balzac is reputed to have had 60 cups of coffee a day, an Guilia the daughter of Tiberius with her highly imaginative acts of sexual depravity is reported to have conducted and displayed her talents to throngs of perver.
