Being dyslexic, I usually avoid reading. However, I've been reading a great book. Can't put it down! Its, "Born To Run" by Christopher McDougall.
(No. It has nothing to do with music.)
If you've ever been a runner, or even just like a great true life adventure mixed with humor, century old Indian traditions, ultra marathon tales, marketing from Nike, evolution... Its a great story mixed with just enough science to make you think, wow, that's why we are the way we are!
If you have noticed a recent passion for ultra marathoners, (50 to 300 mile races), and a resurgence of barefoot or slipper running, this is what its all about. I know it doesn't sound captivating, but it is. My wife and I are competing over who has dibs on the book and she has never run a lick in her life. We think its great.
Here is an excerpt. Click on the book cover and scroll to about page 17 for Chapter 1 to start. Its a fun read!

So, what do I read when I'm done? Any good recommendations out there?
