Just finished a book "Or I'll Dress you in Mourning" by the famous pair Larry Collins & Dominque Lapierre. It is an autobiography of Manuel Benitez, a famous matador from spain - who was born in poverty and dreamt of being a bullfighter all his life - taking many twists and turns including jail sentences - finally achieved success and magnificiently so, due to daring exploits in the ring. The narration is good and the pair have done it again after their much popular "freedom at midnight" on the Indian independence.
If you look at some of the bullfights on youtube video like the one,here on Manuel Benitez, you will be appalled to note that this barbaric sport still exists in Spain and countries of south america, nothing fascinating about it. But the book is definitely good read.
