Chuck Liddell Iceman My fighting Life.
I usally don't read much but this one I thought I just check out and it's a page turner. For me at least. I find it interesting that he's put this out for people to see where he came from and his life from childhood on. Also he tells about getting in to martail arts, kickboxing and Finally the way he found the UFC. |

That does sound like a good one, pitbullJudoka.
I just finished reading my 7th Clive Cussler novel, and am on the 8th. I also have a book on the Kansas City Chiefs that I am picking my way through as well. I am also sprinkling in my latest issue of Black Belt Magazine.

I have tried, but I cant get into the UFC, it seems like they are just a bunch a street brawlers put in a ring to kill each other..?? I just dont see very good technique in it, besides everybody tackling each other and ground and pounding each other.. No offense..  just my thoughts, but I was interested in reading the book though.. |

No offense taken Throwdown. Evryone is entitled to their opion. This book what I have read so far is about his life from growing up to his learning traditional karate and becoming a fighter.
But you right alot of the fighters don't have the greatest techinque in the world. |

Nineteen eighty-four by George Orwell... 3 times in less than two weeks... I'd read it again too but I lent it to my slow-reading friend  So am reading a tone of music theory and history books for school...

1984 pretty much shaped my view of the world as it is.
My politics are definitely Owellian |
That book was fascinating, but deeply disturbing. I'm certain I need to reread it and Farhernheit 451. Both of those are thought provoking, to say the least.
As for 1984, though....I must say that it reminded me of my friends who are particularly talented and perceptive manipulators, and the potential consequences. What would the world be like if your every though could be read and almost every action seen? And how far until you break? It was a disturbing book...

I have always wanted to read 1984 sounds very good.
At the moment im not reading anything usually its martial arts books for me I dont really read fiction that often I prefer real stuff that I can use.
Last book I read was Muscle Revolution-Chad Waterbury
very good book but covered a fair bit of what I know already.
