'ICEMAN: My Fighting Life' by Chuck Liddell. Chuck is not only one of the greatest fighters ever to step into the octagon, he is down to earth, a good father, and a loyal friend to those who know, work and train with him. One of his most intriguing fights he talks about in detail that I was amazed by his courage and toughness was the Vale Tudo Championships in Brazil. Chuck's only second career fight and he beats a heavily favored veteran fighter in his own back yard. I find myself thinking of Chuck's life and the decisions he made and it provides a calming influence to me as I now understand that life can only beat you up if you let it. I enjoyed this eBook, and recommend it to any new fan of the mixed martial arts sport.
'How Soccer Explains the World' by Franklin Foer. Each of the chapters tells a different story about soccer within a different area of the world. Our sports have Holly Hobby characters by comparison. The rivalry between the two Glasgow teams, the Protestant Rangers and the Catholic Celtic, is unlike anything that we have in this nation. This is one of the most perceptive descriptions of globalization's impacts, both positive and negative, that I have read. The book is full of animated reporting, strong characters and insightful analysis. If you are a soccer enthusiast you will absolutely love this book, but even if you don't understand the first thing about this game, the book will offer an entertaining reading material that will probably bring you closer to game and could help you understand your friends' and neighbors' passion around the world.

Iceman: My Fighting Life eBook edition
by Liddell, Chuck
"When I walk out of the tunnel, I can see the lights, hear the music, feel the crowd, but it all begins to close off as I near the cage. By that point I'm thinking, I've been training hard, it's time to focus....Every man is born with a fight-or-flight instinct, and mine is to fight. It always has been."
