Mike Tyson briefly relates his recent reading list.
(Excerpt) Read more at online.wsj.com ...
Does he dog-ear the pages so he can bite them off later?
Ask him next time you see him.
Who knew he was well read? Interesting.
I read this, good for him if he can plow through that stuff.
>>Ask him next time you see him.<<
I think I can get a bit part in “The Hangover 12.”
Can Mike even say Kierkegaard in one take? I know he used to have an interest in intellectual polemics, but when I see him these days, Mike looks burnt out and busted. He may just be playing to type.
LMFAO!
I think you pulled someone’s chain.
?
Do not commingle Michael Vick with Michael Tyson, the are entirely separate individuals, flawed but individual! (Dog vs Ear!)
Whether he or his publicist is kidding, if you read the WSJ article listing favorite readings of 2013 by various celebrities and other nobodies, Tyson’s choice is the most and arguably the only interesting book among them, and I read the damn thing twice looking for hidden gems.
He's reading a collection of quotes, the equivalent of the Cliff Notes edition of philosophy.
As a philosophy major, I’d rather go 15 rounds with him in his prime than read Kierkegaard.

Mikeys tyson is a worthless POS. If you watched his disgusting comments gleefully broadcast on some BS show a few month ago about Sarah Palin you know everything you need to know about this guy. If it wasn’t for boxing he would be doing a life sentence by now for murder or something. He is not worth listening to.
I’m not one to make fun of him here....he happens to have a staggeringly vast knowledge of the history of boxing, and can very well be trying to enrich himself though a natural curiousity. I don’t know just how deep he’s able to go, but bully for him. I think that Tyson is being a bit underestimated here. His life was lived as a sideshow for so long with so much unfortunate actions listed against him,...who’s to say that he can’t improve on all of that? I’m giving him the benefit of a doubt here.
He may read Kierkgarrd that doesn’t mean he understands him.
