Wiki Wednesday: Corey "T-Rex" Sanders!

Corey Sanders (born March 7, 1975) is a retired professional boxer. Originally hailing from Washington, DC, Corey was largely a fringe contender in the heavyweight division. Known as “T-Rex”, Sanders’ most notable victory came in a shocking KO of respected Oleg Maskaev in 2002, which temporarily derailed Maskaev’s plans at fighting for a title. Sanders has also dropped decisions to Andrew Golota and DaVarryl Williamson, and retired after dropping a decision to Timo Hoffmann.

Reading

What I’ve been reading

  • “Carry On, Jeeves.” I read this in July, before everything went haywire. It was a fun read.
  • “Watership Down.” Also before the chaos.
  • “McSweeney’s Mammoth Treasury of Thrilling Tales.” During the chaos. I never actually finished it.
  • “Into Thin Air.” Depressing.
  • “Fer-de-Lance.” My first Nero Wolfe. I loved the A&E series (it was A&E, wasn’t it?), and I’m surprised it took me so long to read one of the books.
  • “The Mother Hunt.” It didn’t, however, take me very long to read a second …
  • “Black Orchids.” Or a third …
  • “Might As Well Be Dead.” Or a fourth. My favorite Nero Wolfe so far.
  • “Saints at the River.” I was looking for something else at the library when I picked this up, but their one copy of
    the book was checked out. The library in our hometown is so much smaller than I remembered.
