I wish I was more of a book reader but I'm not. I'll read a book to study or learn more about a subject I'm interested in but that's about it. When growing up, I never saw either of my parents read books for enjoyment. I wonder if Jade Lady is the same way.ShirleyPerlyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09237828591170908960noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8933471486784078275.post-17187905140937283922008-05-18T22:05:00.000-04:002008-05-18T22:05:00.000-04:00Eileen - You might enjoy "Marathon Woman" by Kathe...Eileen - You might enjoy "Marathon Woman" by Katherine Switzer, the first woman to run the Boston Marathon.

I imagine a lot of the movie would have real marathoners scoffing - but even my limited experience showed the wall in pretty good detail. <BR/><BR/>I don't think I've read any books about running. Nor swimming. And not much of cycling. It's like I'm an anti-triathlete of reading. Now I know what to put on my summer reading list!Eileen Daly-Boashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02054189859033404895noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8933471486784078275.post-13133875335483408932008-05-17T22:05:00.000-04:002008-05-17T22:05:00.000-04:00I've only read one of the three listed but Duel in...I've only read one of the three listed but Duel in the Sun is an excellent book!

Beardsley and Salazar are two incredible heroes. Their stories are a must read.
