A Lion's Tale: Around The World In Spandex

Probably the best of all the wrestling books I've read. Chris Jericho's voice translates from the microphone to the page perfectly, resulting in a memoir that's both engaging and humorous. Nothing to complain about here - the book is exactly what you want it to be.

He's no Mick Foley, but Chris Jericho can definitely write (and wrestle, I suppose). A wide-ranging biography — from a geographic and emotional perspective — you get a front-row seat to the rise, rise, rise, plateau (WCW) and rise of Jericho up until the time he his the WWF(E).

He's lead an interesting life, and though a bit over-fond of poop jokes and the like, knows how to tell his story in a compelling way. It's not exactly one of those “so good you'll like it regardless of your background” bios, but if you're into (or were into) wrestling at all, this is definitely worth a read.
