The Art of Racing in the rain
I am a dog lover, have three so that kind of proves it, and the fact that this book was narated by the dog "Enzo" locked the sale for me. I was in a small boutique bookstore owned by a friend of a friend in Sun River, Oregon, and wanted to spend some money to help ...

What I Talk About When I Talk About Running
Haruki Murakami
Knopf
, 2008
Brilliant, Beautiful
I did not know Murakami's work at all before I purchased this book. I saw it in the running section at a bookstore and decided to give it a read. As I was purchasing the book the sales staff got very excited- turns out they were all huge fans. One person had even done ...
Sarah: How a Hockey Mom Turned Alaska's Political Establishment Upside Down
Kaylene Johnson
Epicenter Press
, 2008
A breath of fresh air
This book tells me much more about who and what Sarah Palin is. What a delight to have someone who isn't so Washington oriented that she can't think for herself. Sure she doesn't know much about the Federal Goverment but I believe she would learn ver quickly. I ...

My Son loves this book
I bought this for my son and he's carried it with him to and from school for nearly a month. He won't be parted with it, and any book that interests my kid that much has GOT to be good. The book is filled with fun projects, and is not just a father/son book (although ...

this book is riveting
Well-told--articulate and concise-Bret explains many of the facets of the wrestling world and tells his story simply and without bitterness or bias. I've read the whole book in less than a day and admire him for his wit and candor and humor even thru all the ...

Forgo your tin of protein powder this month and buy this book, right now.
After years of hit and miss weight training where I never really broke through my plateaus and was constantly frustrated, I found out about Rippetoe's starting strength. In one year I increased all my lifts beyond my wildest dreams and am now training for powerlifting ...

A Fascinating, Clearly Written Sports History

Arnold Schwarzenegger
Simon & Schuster

Excellent book!
The most thorough book I've seen. Arnold Schwarzenegger did a remarkable job covering any aspect of bodybuilding. From the different exercises, programs and nutrition to the most subtle topics. I read a few other books and this book is definitely the best one I read so ...

Deep Survival: Who Lives, Who Dies, and Why
Laurence Gonzales
W. W. Norton & Company
, 2004
A Great Book
There are clearly two ways to approach this book - one for the great stories, the other for the mindset of the people in the stories. Personally, I found the conversation about how our minds work to be the most compelling . The idea of a plan as a "memory of the ...
A Walk in the Woods: Rediscovering America on the Appalachian Trail
Bill Bryson
Anchor
, 2006
Typical witty, funny, entertaining and educational fare from Bryson
I will admit right off the bat to being a big Bill Bryson fan. My only disappointment when it comes to him is that he hasn't written more. I am trying to catch up on some of his previous works so I read a walk in the woods. Needless to say you will not be ...
