Review:The recipient loved it! I read most of it before I had to give it up for a Christmas present, it features Yogi's best gems, plus some backstory on the context, which was really neat. A great gift for fans of old-school baseball and the crazy men who played it. Read more

Review:Since I am getting older (55+) I have been looking for ways to cut back on my running miles without compromising my age adjusted PR's. Weekly running mileage of 70+ miles was no longer fun because my body doesn't recover like it use to. I started to do more cross training but was trying to figure out how the running and cross training would all work together to keep me in a good running condition. This book helped me take a huge leap forward in trying to figure out how to balance my running a... Read more

Review:This is Douglas Adams' best book. He even said so himself in an interview. It was not his most successful, economically speaking, but the most worthwhile of them. And although it covers real-life tragedies, it is dead funny. Especially if you are a traveller. Read more

Review:Love this book. Can't find a single page that's not interesting. This is a resource book so easy to read & author describes things simply so reader follows along without a glitch. Love this book & his "How to Read Water" book also. Hope to buy more over time for each grandson. My son who is 26 and an outdoorsman type says he never wants to lose this book, it's a keeper. Thank you also for the price being affordable. Read more

Review:If you were a fan back in the 50's and 60's please give this one a pass. It is more a book about a crude, vulgar, tasteless, drunk than a story about baseball. The author began this book with a good look at Mickey struggling to get into baseball. A couple more chapters and I was really enjoying it. Unfortunately, her biography rapidly tailed off (in baseball terms) in about the 3rd inning and never came back.
Any dyed-in-the-wool baseball fan knows Mickey had problems. Some know that he was f... Read more

Review:Haruki Murakami's memoir on running and writing is a thoughtful collection of reminiscences about the two activities that the author has dedicated his life to. The book covers about 1-1/2 years of Murakami's life, from mid-2005 to late-2006, with flashbacks to earlier years when he was a bar owner and aspiring writer in Tokyo. The narrative moves smoothly from chapter to chapter, covering various aspects of the author's training regimen, races, and recovery. His companion through all of the l... Read more

Review:I bought this book thanks to Prof Tim Noakes expressing admiration for the authors and my own passion for running. I was not in any way disappointed! Fascinating stuff that I can't wait to put into practice.. Read more

Review:I saw this book first mentioned on some website while I was on vacation. So I did what most people usually do when they see a book on vacation... they write the name down and wait until AFTER vacation to read it. Yeah, I've never been good with reading books on vacation and I'm not sure why. This was, however, the first book I read after my visit to the land of milk and honey (Florida) and I had an absolutely enjoyable time reading it. We always hear people say "I would love to be a fly on t... Read more

Review:In Hemingway's nonfiction recounting of his life in Kenya and of the many, many animals he shot while there, Green Hills is his quintessential nonfiction reportage mastered. While Wolfe would wear a white suit, Hemingway dresses as a hunter and became part of the land, even as he continually searches for the next great hunting plain.

Hemingway was no stranger to the Kenya in his fiction; fictional memoir True at First Light and numerous short stories were set there. But like Death in the ... Read more

Review:a reference book showing many different styles of shelter. You wont find specifics IE cut this stick this long, but you will be able to use the general idea to improvise and adjust the concept to the location you are standing on. Read more
