Whitsett, Forrest A. Dolgener, ... McGraw-Hill, 1998 Excellent! More than I expected! I am so glad I ordered this book. I have never ran nor did I like to run but way down deep inside I wanted to run a marathon. OK, I have had this book for two weeks and can not run four miles.

Great mental health.             Merle's Door: Lessons from a Freethinking Dog172 reviews Ted Kerasote Harvest Books, 2008 Awesome book It has been a week since I have finished this book and I can't stop thinking about it. I don't live in the country or live off the land like the author but I could still relate to everything. I love the fact that he made his own assumptions and opinions and never pushed it on the reader. For those of the readers who were disgusted by the owners behavior with Merle, I laugh. He let this ...             Starting Strength (2nd edition)108 reviews Mark Rippetoe, Lon Kilgore The Aasgaard Company, 2007 The definitive weight book. This is a must buy for the beginner. Amazon is full of books filled with before and after pictures of little weeds who gained 200lbs of pure muscle in 7 days of training. They are all fads. This book is about lifting free weights until you get good at it. I've been doing nothing but what this book says for months and I've had nothing but gains both in terms of weight lifted and physical ...             When Pride Still Mattered141 reviews Simon & Schuster, 2004 A very engrossing read I picked up this book after hearing a strong recommendation. I knew next to nothing about Vince Lombardi, other than that he was an excellent football coach. Very glad I bought the book as this was a particularly engrossing biography. The author was very thorough in his research and traces Lombardi's life in detail for his full nearly 60 years. He provides a lot of detail on Lombardi's ...             Quiet Strength: The Principles, Practices, & Priorities of a Winning Life206 reviews Tony Dungy, Nathan Whitaker Tyndale, 2007 Very Inspirational ...

Swift Warner Books, Incorporated, 1996 A beautiful love letter I'm really glad I found this book at a library book sale last year. Though this story is no longer current news, I hadn't forgotten about the tragic death of Sergey Grinkov or watching him perform with his wife Katya in the 1994 Winter Olympics. And even though the world has long since moved onto other headlines and stories of interest in the figure skating world, the love story told in this ...             Seabiscuit635 reviews Laura Hillenbrand Random House Audio, 2003 If you have not read this book, buy it today!!

I read this book a few years ago, and it practically had me rolling on the floor laughing at times. Finally got it for myself to own, and it's still every bit as good. Gary Paulsen has a wonderful way with words, and is an excellent storyteller. I wholeheartedly recommend this book to anyone.             Death in the Long Grass84 reviews Peter Hathaway Capstick St. Martin's Press, 1989 The most important outdoor books ever written Hemingway, Ruark, and Sanchez are all pale imitators of the great Peter Hathaway Capstick. Try to imagine an American walking away from a Wall Street career to hunt as a professional guide in Africa. Now imagine that this guy could write WAY BETTER than Hemingway, and you're still not there. A small snipet from the chapter on leopard. "...the bark of the tree, when, suddenly, your gazing ...             Playing With the Enemy: A Baseball Prodigy, a World at War, and a Field of Broken Dreams94 reviews Gary Moore SpringWater, 2008 Very well written What an excellent book.

Gary Moore is a real gentleman he responded right away to an email, with a humble and heartfelt response. D. Bradshaw             Wooden74 reviews John Wooden McGraw-Hill, 1997 Wooden I bought this book for my student/athlete son. I had him read the book and find five things that he could immediately apply to his life. The book is written in such a manner that the parallels between sports and life are seamlessly interwoven. By using sports as a platform of relativity, I feel I am raising my son to be a confident and responsible man. This is a must-read for fathers and sons.             The First 16 Secrets of CHI: Feng Shui for the Human Body77 reviews Luk Bond, Master Luk Chun Bond, ... Frog Books, 2001 Excellent Chi Kung book I usually don't write reviews about the books I bought, but I felt that I should do it about this one after reading the amazing review from the "avid reader". I have the book, I have done the exercises, and from my experience, I can tell you that they work, very easilly. In fact, I felt to my surprise the movement of chi in my body, the first time I did the first exercise. What else can you ...             I Am Jackie Chan88 reviews Lung Cheng, Jackie Chan Audio Literature, 1998 " So you play Kung FU" I Am Jackie Chan My Life in Action 1998 5/5 Written by :Jackie Chan & Jeff Yang Easily one of the best books I have ever read.

So should readers interested in thoughtful, creative and honest writing; or of clever, insightful and profound character development.

With a ...             Miracle in the Andes: 72 Days on the Mountain and My Long Trek Home98 reviews Nando Parrado, 2008 Phenomenal book An amazing story that I couldn't put down! I was awestruck by the sheer impossibility of anyone surviving. The most striking moment was under the avalanche in which Nando surrendered his life and was ready to die. Their courage and instincts for survival were amazing. The message I took away is that love can inspire a person to do miraculous things and that God is too distant to rely on or ...             The Ashley Book of Knots73 reviews Clifford Ashley Doubleday Books, 1944 The "Bible" for ropework and knotting... Hands down, if you're into knots, rope work, sailing, etc...this is definitely a book to add to your shelf. Over 600 pages, it's got pretty much references to every knot you could think of, as well as a good history on rope and knots, and a great index to quickly find what you need. I've even found most other books or online resources I look at reference the "Ashley Book of Knots" number ...             Season of Life: A Football Star, a Boy, a Journey to Manhood76 reviews Jeffrey Marx Simon & Schuster, 2004 I love this story! I'm not a huge fan of football...but, when I read this book a year ago, I handed out copies to quite a few people! I just bought another copy for myself because I keep giving them away! I'm sure I'll have to order more. Read this book.             Driver #894 reviews Dale Earnhardt, Jade Gurss Warner Books, 2002 What a good job I really enjoyed reading about his experience as a driver.
