1. Born to Run: A Hidden Tribe, Superathletes, and the Greatest Race the World Has Never Seen It's a fun read, and got me inspired to run my first ultra marathon. 2. Alone on the Wall Inspiring stories about this amazing rock climber Alex Honnold, as told by himself and one other experienced climber. You get a little insight into what makes him tick.

Just finished Andrew Vachhs's Haiku which I think is his weakest novel so far, I liked Alina Rodriguez's The Husband Habit and I could not put down Born To Run which gave me new insight into running, a sport I'm just getting started with. Currently reading Cooper's About Face (only technical book on the list :-) and about to start Joshua Slocum's Sailing Alone Around the World
