    Looking to further submerge myself in the culture, are there any good books that give a psycho-analysis of a prized boxer?

    Or even an average boxer.

    I just got "The Game" by Jack London for Christmas.

    For my birthday I got a compendium of classic stories by authors ranging from Arthur Conan Doyle (creator of Sherlock Holmes) to PG Wodehouse (creator of Jeeves the butler).

    Plenty to sink my teeth into. :thumbsup
