Pain and Passion - the History of Stampede Wrestling by Heath McCoy is a fantastic account of the rise and fall of Stampede Wrestling without going into rumors and gossip usually associated with the Hart family.

Great book, one of my all time favorites. Shogun is also very highly rated, but I myself found it rather slow.

Someone mentioned some of the most popular investment books like Wealthy Barber etc....good book, read it years ago, but I'd recommend Derek Foster's Stop Working, here's how you can. A different look at the world of investing. Very informative.

FireEgo, I've been reading reviews on "GUNS, GERMS, AND STEEL", it sounds amazing. Can't wait to pick it up this week. Do you have anything else to recommend?
