I recently finished Win or Learn, by Conor Mcgregor's trainer John Kavanah.
Quite a thoughtful read I thought. I recently went to a few Judo lessons and appreciated his first thoughts on entering Karate lessons. Very calm, Zen, and Mr Myagi like.
Also finished Yoga for People who Can't be Bothered to do it, by Geoff Dyer, in a few hours, which is a travel book and has nothing to do with yoga.
Great read, although I kind of felt I'd lived his experiences already. Especially the young kid switching seamlessly from abusing him to crying, in an attempt to get him to buy a can of coke in Angkor.
And the fantastic space cadets you meet on the Thai islands.
Next book is The Unquiet Grave, by Cyril Connelly.
I've come to re-appreciate the concentrating medative qualities of reading a book, compared to watching a film.
