Jon Andika j_andikaab0c — Good book for those considering or curious about ultra marathons. This offers the point of view of multiple insiders through as they relate the story of their more memorable races. I was personally looking for stories that detailed that moment of "I just can't go on" and how those people got past the moment(s), but while this is not a focus, of course it does come up ("What would Shackleton do? lol). (btw, I realize that I also misunderstood "the wall" as a point of mental exhaustion, rather than the correct "terminology" of it as: your body is out of fuel. kaput.) I am amazed at the concept of not running for just a half hour or an hour, but 22 hours... not "10 miles" or "20 miles" but ...100... plus another 60, if you feel like it... I am curious to read more on the topic, even if I doubt I'll be doing any "50k" races anytime soon. I also feel for these folks. While I really enjoyed Born to Run, I think the book catapulted Ultra Marathon into mainstream American culture, and what has been an insiders "community" sport is about to become a popular pastime. That's never a comfortable growing pain for those who have loved that tight knit community feeling of being on the 'inside' of something no one else really understands.

Mark Thomas sorabji — What was so intriguing about the book when I first picked it up is that the cover reads (at least my edition of it) "a novel in monthly installments with recipes, romances, and home remedies". The plot revolves around the character Tita who is the youngest of three daughters. Due to this, her family tradition dictates that she must never marry but instead has to take care of her mother until her mother dies. Unfortunately, she falls in love with a boy named Pedro whom she knows she will never marry. In addition, she is her mother's least favorite daughter and the one on whom her mother takes out her anger. The only place that Tita can find solace is in the kitchen where the housekeeper (her surrogate mother) showers her in love and guidance in cooking. As Tita faces more tragedies (her sister marries Pedro, her mentor dies, etc.), she escapes through her cooking. Magically, when people eat her food they experience the emotions that she was feeling when she made the food. On nights when she is sad, everyone at the table begins weeping. Other nights she is filled with love and lust, and that is passed on to those who eat her food. At first, Tita doesn't understand her power but she soon is able to harness it and use it to speak for her when she is unable to speak for herself. My satisfaction with this book fluctuated. At times I found the recipes at the beginning of each chapter to be intriguing and endearing, while at others I thought they were annoying and kitschy. I thought that Tita's ability to affect others through her food was an excellent character trait and certainly carried me through the novel. However, there was no one in the novel that I actually liked and wasn't emotionally invested in the story or the characters. I think that it is worth reading because the technique is interesting and something that few others have tackled. However, I won't be re-reading this one. www.iamliteraryaddicted.blogspot.com
