IAmFCA Posted January 16, 2017 Share Posted January 16, 2017 Yay I was hoping to find such a thread as this. Couldn't find a URL image. Hmm. Natural Born Heroes, by Christopher McDougall. Despite its title, makes the point that heroism is a skill, not a virtue. As in Born to Run, vivid vignettes underpinned by biochemistry and biomechanics. Fascinating. Link to comment

Fudgie Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 Ohhh, I love that book. Very sad but very worth it. It's been a long time since I've cried while residing a book but "Flowers for Algernon" did it for me. Link to comment
faraday Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 I'm re-reading The Poisonwood Bible. I haven't read it in about 15 years...interesting to read it from the perspective of a mother...of a wife. My thoughts were so different reading this at 19. Link to comment

Jibralta Posted December 12, 2017 Share Posted December 12, 2017 Wait for What Will Come By Barbara Michaels I'm purging my book collection. I have these two books by her that were gifts from back when I was like 10. I've read them before, but don't remember enjoying them. I wanted to give them another chance before I donate them. I just finished Be Buried in the Rain, and wasn't particularly impressed. But this one is actually kind of good. Link to comment
