Bodybuilder's Bookshelf
What are you reading?
What books are on your bookshelf? What magazines are on your nightstand? Do you even have a nightstand?
Doesn't have to be fitness or bodybuilding literature either. Although Arnold's (with Douglas Kent Hall) The Education of a Bodybuilder, Samuel W. Fussell's Muscle, Dick Tyler's West Coast Bodybuilding Scene, and Pumping Iron belong on any musclehead's bookshelf, imo.
All are encouraged to reply. Might be an interesting read.
I've read everything James Rollins has available. Currently half way through Rollins' Altar of Eden. Okay, I still haven't read his novelization of the latest Indiana Jones flick, but everything else.
Other authors you'll find on my bookshelf include Stephen King, Lee Child, Janet Evanovich, and John Grisham.

I have several years back issues of Women's Physique World. I get Flex & MD but just scan them quickly. I like the articles in MD.

Randy Wayne White's novels about Marine Biologist Doc Ford, last one literally kept me up all night, crazy Tim Dorsey's Serge Storms series, a character who reminds me of a cross between Capt. RichArund and Saney on this forum (they may be even crazed and funnier), used to love Outside Magazine but it's getting a little too soft and left-handed, just started reading some Iron Magazine, it's well done. Good post!

Book: "How to Get from There to Here"
An old clip, taken just before the 2009 Olympia, but the chef has a great story. Check it out!

How to Get from There to Here: One Man’s Triumph over Addictions, Obesity, and Being Down-and-out

Welcome, my friends, to my first book, HOW TO GET FROM THERE TO HERE, an autobiographical account of the trials and tribulations that dragged me through life's highs and lows. Ultimately, I was blessed with the resources and motivation to make peace with myself and reach an amazing level of success from nothing. Whether you are trying to overcome addiction, get back into shape, or succeed at work or at home, my book can help. It is an easy read and I think it can really provide great insight to help people in any situation overcome adversity and achieve personal greatness.
Read the first two chapters:

MuscleMag International was one of the first mags that I really looked for. Kennedy only published it maybe four times per year along with a MuscleMag Annual that, yeah, he'd publish yearly.

Ironman was that digest sized magazine that had a font size that must have been 6 at the most! What a great read!
Sadly, Mentzer and Teufel (pictured above) have both passed away.

I'd never heard of that book, but I have heard of Brooks Kubik. Will have to put that on my wish list. Thanks!
I still have a subscription to MD. There was a special being run along with an MD Store purchase just before the Blechman/Palumbo split. Muscular Development magazine is definitely a great read. Ron Harris' writing is something I always look for and his online "Daily Pump" brought me to the MD Web site. Originally Posted by sassy69

A good friend of mine introduced me to WPW years before I heard the term "schmoe". He had photo sets of many of the women from back in the day and issues of the magazine. At that time they were also publishing Female Bodybuilding, another great read filled with pics of the athletes of the day.

Yes, that exact one ^. Much better than the Constance Garnett translation. They are probably the best living translators of Russian to English.
