I have read Going After Cacootto and A Fighter's Heart in the past month.

Caciotto was a good book I didn't like it as much as The Things They Carried which is the best soldier book I've ever read and among my favorite books of all time.

A Fighter's Heart I've read in pieces before I had read the chapter of when he was in Oakland training with Andre Ward and Virgil Hunter. But it was a good book, wasn't expecting it to be especially deep but what the guy did was pretty amazing. Went from Thailand with the greatest mhuy thai fighter of all time to Pat Militech in Iowa, boxing out here and then going to Brazil, Mexico for a movie shoot and then deep meditation with Monks in Thailand. I probably didn't have to type out like the whole damn book but it's written from half fighter's perspectives half writer so a little of the stuff is hit or miss. I don't really relate to training months on end for a fight just fighting so I can't relate to a lot of the stuff he says but he describes it great and definitely gives you a better understanding. The most interesting parts are when he isn't in training but he has a dogfighting chapter that imo was the most fascinating in the book. I liked it.

I am reading Matt Maiocca's book right now, he's a beat writer for the Press Democrat down here who is among if not the best beat writer out there. Great writer and he has a 100 49ers to Miss book about the classic 49ers. It's a late Christmas (lol) present but I am trying to read it first.

After that it's Beyond Glory the book about Joe Louis - Max Schmelling which I bought just a few hours ago. It is very well reviewed the Washington Post compared it to Seabiscuit which was a great book because it recreated the era so well which obviously a book about that fight would have to do in great detail so I'm excited to read that one.
