SPEED PUNCHING

Quick hits on Sly’s must list

What he’s reading: “I’ve been reading Killing the Mob for research, but I find myself going back to classic early literature— James Fenimore Cooper, Melville, Dickens, Joseph Conrad— because it blows my mind how good they were, and how they would have to sit there and type or handwrite these masterpieces. Incredible.”

Favorite dessert: “It used to be banana splits, but that’s a dying art now. My daughter goes, ‘Eww!’ But back in the day, they were a staple for me.”

Easy rider: “There’s nothing I can’t do on a horse. I played semiprofessional polo. I trained horses. You name it, I rode it. So if acting didn’t work out, that was going to be my life. But you have to be leery of horses. As Eddie Murphy said, ‘You can’t trust anything that can run and s--t at the same time.’”
