I've read this book more times than I'd care to admit. It's so god damn enjoyable.
His children's books are surprisingly good too. One would have the Rock's stiff chairshots would have turned his brain into mush

It was a surprisingly good account of an intelligent autist with a high pain threshold.
The end of the book veres into WWF cinema though. The misery of working for WCW and Japanese hardcore wrestling while having a wife and kid are the best part.
Also, the scene where he tries to show up the doctor by asking why one of his vertebra is off color, and being told its the only one that is the correct color is pretty solid writing, as evidenced by the fact that I remember it after like 12 years.

In the book he says that that match showed that Undertaker was the greatest wrestler on the roster, as he was basically paralyzed after that fall, but went on literally carried by Undertaker for like 20 more minutes.
Pretty great. The horrors of a dilapidated playboy mansion and a decrepit hugh dictating orgies of disinterested backstabbing whores by playing them off themselves for money and love under a strict totalitarian regime is fascinating.

I've been meaning to read that for a long time.
This book was good and surprisingly sad. Tyson admires the Greeks and Romans and quotes from them a lot. He would fit in on /lit/.
Also, he had gonorrhea when he fought Berbick for the WBA champion title. He got an antibiotic shot, which is why he was sweating like a pig throughout this fight.

Errol Fynn's autobio is good.
It's kind of like reading a Charles Bukowski novel, if Henry Chinaski was replaced by a flamboyant rich actor given to telling tall stories.

Read this last year and loved it, might be the most entertaining and funny book I've read.
