Bret Hart's "Hitman" for me. I grew up watching WWF and Bret Hart was and still is my favourite ever wrestler. But his book isn't just about his wrestling, it's about his life, his upbringing, his travelling around the world, seeing different places and what he went through battling back from his stroke. Very fascinating read.

Off the top of my head> Mr nice. Only thing though, i had to read it about 3times to fully understand it. So many plots and sub plots to that mans life, it gets confusing Lol

Gaspipe: Confessions of a Mafia Boss: by Philip carlo. Love any book by philip carlo, but this book of his fascinated me the most. That gaspipe casso was an absolute psychopath, even the likes of sammy the bull gravano, roy Demeo, john gotti feared him.
I like books about true crime, mainly about the italian american mafia, the five families. That stuff fascinates me

The Damage Done by Warren Fellows.

It's a story about an Australian drug smuggler who get caught in Bangkok. Spends many years in the notorious "big tiger' prison. A very in depth and sometimes brutal story of his time there.

Wow, I think it is as impossible as to choose the best film, because there is so many.

But if I have to choose one would be 'East Side Stories' by Joseph Rodriguez :D

Tyson's autobiography from about 10 years ago was brilliant, just getting the updated one now, what a life he's had.

And all of Annis's books of course :lol: and Gwyns was pretty good too.............

Too Small For Basketball by Kris Kenway. Heartbreaking story about a man who realises his sister was sexually assaulted as a child but his family kept it a secret from him. Not everybody's idea of a good read but it really gets the emotions stirring and that's what a good book is all about for me.
