So I needed to read some good fight scenes, and someone suggested Louis L'Amour.
When I was a wee thing, and would go to various older relatives' houses, there were inevitably three books on the shelves: Gone with the freakin' Wind, Shogun, and something by Louis L'Amour. Maybe that's just a cultural thing, a late '70s/early '80s suburban East Coast kind of thing. Maybe they came with your Long Island cape-style postwar house (okay, maybe not, but you know what I mean.)

Collection of short stories, mostly about boxing, but there were a few in there about completely different topics (like being stranded in Mongolia, or Southern Chile). Good stories that made me feel like I had gone interesting places and known interesting people.

I didn't realize that this was a collection of short stories when I first picked up the book. However, once I got over that issue ... I enjoyed each of the stories quite a bit. This is the first time that I realized that Louis L'Amour had interests belong simply 'westerns'. There are excellent short stories about boxing and also some great period pieces set in exotic locations around the world.

I am not sure I will finish this one. Short stories at first fun but become a bit monotonous
