I ordered this a couple days ago, and even though it was clearly priced (and worth) $9.99, the end sale price was $1.99. Hooker by Lou Thesz, eBook for the Kindle app. I am enjoying it tremendously. https://www.amazon.com/HOOKER-Lou-Thesz-ebook/dp/B00JDHBM9O/ref=tmm_kin_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&qid=&sr=

I got an autographed copy of that book many years ago direct from his website(although "book" is putting it loosely because the version I have is more like a binder). You have to take some of Thesz's biases with a grain of salt obviously, but aside from that it's a tremendous read for anyone interested in the early days of wrestling and the various political games and shoot/work scenarios of the day. It was really good. I might have to read it again soon. Last edited on Tue Jul 11th, 2017 05:27 pm by srossi ____________________ This thread was great before AA ruined it. |

Reading the lengthy introduction by Charlie Thesz, it seems she gave the go-ahead a handful of years ago for the book to be edited for blatant errors while not clouding the spirit of what Lou wanted to get across, as well as be re-published in a proper format (Crowbar Press).

The Russian Five by Keith Gave It's about how he helped convince Sergei Fedorov and Vladimir Konstantinov to defect from Russia and join the Red Wings. I'm only half way through chapter 1, but my Dad and brother-in-law said it's awesome.

I just picked up the Pillman book and the dynamite kid book. I picked up the kid book years ago back before Feinstein had his issues and RF had a kiosk at the Ontario mills mall but I lost it somewhere along the way. I don’t really have plans to read either anytime soon but I was in a buying mood the other night on amazon and got them both.

Batman long Halloween graphic novel. I picked this up with 9 graphic novels of thanos. Long Halloween was a good sized collection 400 or so pages but was interesting; Gave the genesis of 2 face. I’ll probably pick up some more Batman down the road.

Bernard Cornwell's Sharpe's Trafalgar. I read a bunch of his Richard Sharpe series of books years ago, but I have started over again and am now reading them in chronological order as opposed to the date that he published them.

I picked up Dr D’s Don’t call me fake and it’s a hell of a book. I lose interest easily when reading but this book kept me going. The print is a little large and it has a lot of pages that are just pictures but so far it’s cool as hell. I also recently picked up a pile of graphic novels Son of Satan (original run) Moon Knight epic collection 1,2 and the 3rd Avengers v The Darkhold Last edited on Sun Apr 7th, 2019 03:17 am by Franchise ____________________ "Beginning this week, Nitro is going head-to-head with Thunder in Australia" - The Wrestling Observer Newsletter: January 22, 2001 |
