Vacation book
Quote | Reply
I'm trying to decide what to read on the beach.

So far considering

1) Domestique

2)the secret race

3) unbeatable mind


Any thoughts on which is best read?

Just finished "boys in the boat" and "living with seal"

I've read the first two. I think 2 was better than 1. Not read 3 but none of neither of them was amazing. Good but not great

I haven't read any of those, but if you're looking for a great sports book I'd highly recommend The Boy Who Runs: The Odyssey of Julian Achon.

His story is riveting -- poor, rural family in Uganda; abducted into Joseph Kony's army as a child soldier; escapes; eventually becomes a national middle distance running champion; later a U.S. collegiate champ; Olympian; humanitarian. The writing is simple, but engaging for a biography, written in a narrative style. There are a few spots that lag in the book, dragging parts of the story out a bit longer than necessary, but overall it's incredible, eye opening, and inspiring. I struggled to put it down.
