Im reading this book right now, biography of The Sheik, one of the most successful pro wrestlers and wrestling promoters of all time, had a career that went from the 1940's to the 1990's
ECW/WWE fans may know him as the trainer of Rob Van Dam and the uncle of Sabu

Say ! Do you know of any books on the life of the great Killer Kowalski (we're talking about the 1970s) ? ......thx in advance :)
 
I finished Blood Meridian by Cormac McCarthy recently. Super memorable book, extremely bleak and effective world building. It's based on the story of an infamous gang of scalphunters from the Old West, called the Glanton Gang, and their various atrocities. Lots of scenes that have stuck with me

Next up I'm reading Altered Carbon again. One of my favourite ever books. I still need to get around to the Netflix series they did
 
I stil nead to get around too reeding that bok by Tank Abot.

A bunch of texts relating to law/sociology. Trying to finish reading Fairytale by King but can't muster the effort. Oddly he had a pretty good opening this time around and then just kind of dragged on a bit.
 
Like Orpheus descending into the underworld, Vuong takes us to the white-hot limits of his grief, writing with visionary fervor about love, agony, and time… Aesthetically ambitious and ferociously original….Here, he breaks open and rebuilds

I’ve been delving through all the Halo books in order of release lately. Started with The Fall of Reach and I’m currently on Halo: A Master Chief Story Shadows of Reach.

So far my favourites have been First Strike, the Kilo Five Trilogy, and Halo Envoy.

No, I dont know too much about Kowalski, just a little bit about his late 70's WWWF run and the fact he trained Trips & Chyna, and I dont think theres any books about him specifically, I read a lot of wrestling history/biography books and honestly, he's not mentioned too much

Why the interest in Kowalski?
 
Gonna get absolutely ripped this weekend and read The Rape of the Mind by Joost Meerloo

Presently I'm reading 'True Himmler'. Won't be a popular choice, but I like history and I want to see if Himmler was as evil as I thought he might be and pin down what triggered it.

Lol let me spoil it. He was a bad dude. The guy who wrote it is a holocaust denier.
