New book.
It's quite rare for me to start reading a new book, but I've just ordered, "Atlas" which is an autobiography by Teddy Atlas, who was one of the most influential boxing trainers for Mike Tyson, in his early years.
Folklore has it, that the Tyson camp fired Atlas, because Tyson had sexually propositioned a young (seriously underage) family member of Atlas's, and Atlas had confronted Mike with an iron bar.
So Teddy Atlas "had to go", but he played a major role in the creation of one of the best boxers in history.
Also as a person who was born in a very poor and very tough part of the world, whose ears stuck out, and who had "goofy teeth" he was a prime target for "neighbourhood bullies", he also has a scar that runs from the top of his left temple, all the way down his face, so I think he is a person, whose life I'd find very interesting, possibly inspirational.
I just watched a documentary on the boxing gym where Atlas helped to train Tyson, and he (Atlas) seemed very kind to the children.
So, this is my first new book of 2013.

If you can pronounce "kheili" as you mentioned before, this letter "kh" is like the one in "kheili". "obi" is pronounced like this in English "u:bi"

I can guess how the "kh" sounds but what about the "obi"? Like English?
