but i've never read books anyway. i work with books, incorporate material from books into my work, but i sure as heck don't read them. that's a pretty bougie way to pass the time.

nor do books "furnish a room" in my house. my office is a functional space and the books that are there are in use and related to the work i do. books not currently used for work are stored, much as files on a USB drive are, albeit in far more inconvenient boxes

assume, folks, that i've read (i.e., worked with) pretty much every single book on fitness culture, sports history related to those sports i cover, all sports autobiographies relevant to my work, and so on. or refer to my "working lists" on goodreads.

I recommend Shooters by Jonathan Snowden

read it and reviewed it on goodreads, good sir. very useful

five stars, listed among "favorites" for work

I wanted to cheekily recommend a book but couldn't think of anything but my own. Which says a lot about either me, or the state of wrestling history.

in terms of stuff that isn't autobiographies there simply isn't much that covers material...your book is actually a comprehensive history of "combat performance" in some ways, as close to it as we've got out there
