I can't remember the last time I've been swallowed whole by a novel. Inside twelve hours The Kite Runner by Khaled Hosseini was finished. I'm a slow reader. I like to ponder word choices and savor the phrases that please me. It's been many years since I allowed myself to be taken over so fully. It was wonderful to travel like that again.
Yann Martel's The Facts Behind the Helsinki Roccamatios had a couple of outstanding offerings too. Reading, working, wood cutting, splitting and stacking, but no running. I'm supposed to be training for a half marathon. Yikes.
Can you get stronger instantly? (And would it fix your pain if you could?)
