Just trying to raise the Level of Discourse on Here ;D.What is Currently Your Literary Drug of Choice?I just finished reading "Peace Kills:America's Fun New Imperialism"by P.J. O' Rourke-Funny as Hell,VERY satiric and Politically Incorrect.I recommend it-Also Check Out "Cut Numbers" or "Trinities"by Nick Tosches for some Great Writing about,Shall We say,Certain Individuals in the New York City-New Jersey Area.

I am currently reading "Wrestling At The Chase" by Larry Matysik. It's the inside story of promoter Sam Muchnick and the legends of professional wrestling (Dick Murdoch, Ric Flair, Harley Race, King Kong Brody). Pretty cool so far, highly recommend it. Might read Sheik Adnan's book next, should definitly be a good read.

I agree,"Wrestling at the Chase"is Excellent.Apparently Larry Matysik is also Currently putting together a Book on the Life of Bruiser Brody which should be Tremendous as well.I also recommend "The Cowboy and The Cross"by Bill Watts with Scott Williams.

A Bruiser Brody book would be AWESOME ! Next to the supposedly-soon-to-be-released Bret Hart autobio, it would be something I'd defintiely look at.

Irish Mike O Shea was telling me that Ivan Koloff's book"Is That Wrestling Fake"is Very Good as well.I would also be remiss if I didn't mention Ole Anderson's Book"Inside Out:How Corporate America Destroyed Professional Wrestling"-It's a bitter Diatribe full of Vitriolic and Vindictive Comments-Highly entertaining.

Actually, the guy who runs Fark.com and has a book out "It's Not News, It's Fark" is signing at the Boarders near the Galleria tonight @ 7pm. It will change the way you look at news and the world as a whole.

The Problem with most News-Television at least is that the coverage skews too far to one side or the other of the political spectrum-we need Crossfire to go back to the Days when Tucker Carson and James Carville were at each other Hammer and Tongs-THAT was quality.

I'm not sure where I heard this from, but, belying Iggy's punk personnae, he is actually a damn good golfer, carrying only a 5 handicap or so.

Jim Osterberg is actually very good at a variety of things-However Iggy the alter ego is a Horse of a totally different color.
