Best Book You Read Latey

[yoku]

Lately I have been reading reprints/compilations of old Pulp Magazines.
So far I've read a The Best of Thrilling Adventures, which has a ton of short stories in it.

From space travel to western stories, it really has all you could want if you like the pulp magazine style; couldn't recommend it enough.

If you like this definitely read Robert E. Howard’s Boxing stories!! I might go as far as saying Steve Costigan is my favorite Howard hero insofar as he is so lovable vs Conan who I consider an ideal.

Another good prize fighter writer was Lous L'Amour, one of his short story volumes is all about boxing, and he had the experience to back it up.

You ever hear of Jim Tully? He was a boxer and vagabond that wrote popular books in the 1920’s. His work is a little hard to find but it’s worth it.

somewhat tangential to prize fighting we have straight up criminality:

The Charterhouse of Parma by Stendhal is sometimes called the most french novel ever written. Set at the very end of the Napoleonic Wars, the young Marchese Fabrizio del Dongo proves the meaning of the word nobility.
