    Can't rememeber if i already said this in this thread or not but..

    My Longest Round, Life Story Of Wally Carr... top read. written in a easy to read way. just as if someone was spinning a yarn and telling the story to you instead of u reading it.

    I'm currently reading - Iron Mike: A Mike Tyson Reader.

    A book made up of a collections of articles, but put in chronological order. Halfway through, and very good so far.

    Also just re-read Nigel Benn's autobiography, great read, hugely honest and at times very sad.
    Anyone read either?

    Mike has moved on to pigeons, Lester is closer to home.

    Don't know if anyone has mentioned this yet but the best book on boxing I have ever read was "The Sweet Science" by AJ Liebling.
    Old book but great read.
