a Journey to Manhood - Season of Life - A Football Star

Review:This book is an interesting read, but it seems the author couldn't decide which story to tell. His own? Joe Ehrmann's? The Gilman football team's? He goes deepest into Joe's but keeps hinting at his own transformation. That led me to expect more than I found in the last chapter. Read more

The Big Book of Endurance Training and Racing
The Big Book of Endurance Training and Racing

Review:Great book for endurance training, however, it falls short when it comes to dietary advice. For example, the following quote comes from the book:
"About 40 percent or more of the carbohydrates you eat is converted to fat and stored as body fat."

Excess Starch Does Not Turn to Body Fat

A widely held belief is that the sugars in starches are readily converted into fat and then stored unattractively in the abdomen, hips, and buttock. Incorrect! And there is no disagreement about t... Read more

Four Years Around the World on a Triumph - Jupiters Travels
Four Years Around the World on a Triumph - Jupiters Travels

Review:I purchased this book after reading about it in a motorcycle article. I found it to be a pretty good read, although I find it hard to believe someone in the 1970's would choose a triumph motorcycle to do this trip on, knowing their history and reputation during the 70's! I thoroughly enjoyed Ted Simons' writing about his experiences and would recommend this book. Read more

and an Unlikely Family - A Story of Resilience
and an Unlikely Family - A Story of Resilience

Review:In this book, author Lisa Fenn tells of her prolonged and deepening relationship with two very talented African American students. Each of these young people faced pretty extreme challenges: Dartanyon dealt with low vision, and Leroy had actually been run over by a train, resulting in the loss of his legs and innumerable surgeries. Each of them had unfortunate family situations in which some of their deepest needs had not been met. Lisa Fenn a television producer for ESPN, grew close to the boys... Read more

Proven Strategies for Improving Tilt Control - Coping with Variance
Proven Strategies for Improving Tilt Control - Coping with Variance

Review:Nothing really exciting here. The advice is obvious. Any self help book on self control has at least this much content.
Not worth the time if you've read anything close to this content. Self-control and mindfulness are covered much better in so many other formats. Just because it has "poker" in the title, doesn't mean the content is original. Read more
