Finished Randy Roberts' Joe Louis: Hard Times Man. Really enjoyed it. It's not just a fight-by-fight, camp-by-camp account of his life. Roberts used it to examine race relations, international politics, and American ideals at large. Louis is kind of a distant figure throughout it. Very reserved. Definitely the most ambitious boxing book I've read yet.
Still working on Herman Melville's *Moby D****. The scope of the novel really is whale-like. Endless tangents outside of the actual narrative fiction expounding on zoology and allusions to the classics regarding the central creature. Detailed accounts of the process of whaling. Fascinating stuff with such powerful and precise prose.
Going to start Michele McPhee's Maximum Harm about the Tsarnaev Brothers and the Boston Bombing. Apparently the older brother had close ties to the FBI long before the event. Should be an interesting read.
