Malarchuk's Book - Thoughts
Ok - I have been looking to grab a copy of this book "A Matter of Inches" since it was released earlier this year, but it took me until Monday night to grab a copy of it at the local library.
As a Sabre fan, I was interested to read it because he was a former Sabre. But I was not prepared for the details of his life that he shared about his battles with mental illness, alcoholism and depression. I will not get into details here, but it shows his life as a microcosm of how far society has come with how mental illness is handled and how far we probably still need to go.
I could NOT put the book down over the last 3 nights; this was an incredible read (and it's not kid-friendly).

I had the pleasure of hearing Clint speak at both Red Deer College and at the Red Deer College Athlete's Breakfast. He did a great job. This is an important message and one of hope. Do yourself a favor - go read this book (buy or borrow!).

Got it for Christmas . Read the first chapter but haven't done anything since. Not a big reader so the mood has to strike me. I'll get it done eventually. Maybe this thread will motivate me to read it.
Cheers Mike
