so i’m operating on runner’s brain – i raced in mobile today – so there’s really no guessing what i’ll say or write – in fact, i can’t even remember the second book i read this week – but two is plenty to write on anyway…

“the other normals” by vizzini – new YA book – i’ve read others from vizzini – and with a movie based on one of his books, i thought it was cool that i found him before others – that said, i really didn’t enjoy this book at all – i’m sure there are high school kids who will – it wouldn’t surprise me to see this as a high school BOB next year – but i couldn’t get into the two worlds that were interrelated – and yet ever changing – sort of like a comic book alterworld – except in this book, the main character’s fascination with grid games disappeared – that all said, it did get me through some rough patches of boring south alabama driving:)

“road to 14” or something like that – tommy ford wrote this – with help from the excellent photo work of kent gidley – these books are in walmart now – just in time, i got the book monday, for bama to win 15 – the photos were amazing though – and the recap of the 2011 season was great – i read the book, of course, in a night (love me some sports books:)

“the runner’s body” – aha!!! i knew i would remember that third book – a scientific approach to running – like, what running actually does to the body (thus, the name) – it’s my second time to read it –  i think three more times and i might understand some of the sci terms – that said, it’s a narcissistic pleasure, but i do love reading about what i enjoy doing – so i enjoyed the reread

see you monday
