    Read two Autobiographies on my last holiday

    Bruno and Calzaghe, enjoyed both of them a lot, if I had to pick the better one surprisingly I would say Bruno, made very interesting reading.

    DARK TRADE: LOST IN BOXING

    This is no ordinary book about boxing. Dark Trade is Donald McRae's vivid personal journey through the intense and forbidding world of the professional fight game. Tyson, Bruno, Hamed, Benn, Eubank, Watson, Jones, De La Hoya and Toney confide in him their fears and longings. Their fantastic, almost mythological stories are uncovered in new and striking detail, derived from the hundreds of hours McRae has spent in their company.With wit, compassion and lucidity, Dark Trade examines the way in which race and violence beat at the heart of our society, and asks what forces men to pursue this most brutal kind of stardom, what drives their outrageous ambition.

    6.99 at amazon.
