Sean Connery, First and Last a Scot

If you're looking for a tell-all book about the life and loves of Sean Connery, or you want a whole lot of juicy details about the devastatingly handsome actor who personified James Bond and is the only man who ever stole a movie out from under Harrison Ford's perfect nose, Connery's new autobiography won't do the trick.

But if you want to know everything about Connery's passion for his native land, Being a Scot is probably just your cup of tea.

Connery has famously never let anyone write his biography, but agreed to this book, written with a filmmaker and architectural historian Murray Grigor. While it's full of stories about his life, reviews in the U.K. indicate the book is nothing too gossipy, or too Hollywood. It's all about his passion for his homeland, and it sounds quite entertaining. Let's hope he does the audio book himself, in that accent that can turn a strong woman's knees to water...
