Read this for a freshman English seminar in college. Really fascinating mini-mediations on specific facets of modern culture. As an assignment, we wrote our own "mythologies" and I think I got a really good grade on mine.

It seems to me that Steve Prefontaine merits a high quality biography. His story is the stuff of legends, so much so that high school cross-country kids wear "Pre Lives" shirts from Nike not fully aware of who the guy is. For five years, Pre remained undefeated in the U.S. at any distance over one mile. He ran two 10K races. In the first, he set the American record. He never won on the biggest international stage, the Olympics, but he had the unfortunate timing of being at Munich and he died before his probable prime. And, ironically, his next Olympics would have been none at all because he would join the other infuriated American athletes who would have to miss the Olympics because they were in the Soviet Union and the U.S. boycotted them. He's not the only athlete to run his mouth with an arrogance that some love and others cringe at, but he's really the first runner to bring a blood and guts toughness to distance running. He is also the first athlete-promoter for a company (in this case, Nike), and he led the fight to end "shamateurism", the Olympic and AAU rules that treated athletes like crap, expecting them to somehow train full-time and not get paid for running in races. But this biography is very disappointing. I don't think a non-runner would bother reading through this flavorless endless list of split times and workout routines, and any runner would be bored and disappointed to see such a legendary figure turned into numbers. You receive little to no window into what Steve Prefontaine the man was like. I know he was no Da Vinci, but his life outside of track was interesting and it is barely mentioned in his biography. The end of the book is moving, but that is because the story is so sad, not because of Tom Jordan's writing. The whole thing reads like a just-the-facts AP article. Pre deserves much more.

I hate that this dog is possessed. I like my animals as helps not killers.

A variety of short essays on running. Excellent for reading on a plane during takeoff and landing when you can't read your Nook!!! A very quick read. A little quirky. Includes his opinions on running issues from nutrition to clothes to muscle twitch. Just geeky enough.
I can't even express how disappointed I am in this book. I LOVED his first book, Ella Minnow Pea. I thought it was so clever and unique. And this, Welcome to Higby, is just terrible. There is nothing interesting about Higby. If you were to go there, you'd drive right through. The descriptions of this book talk about it being hysterical. I haven't even smiled or chuckled once while reading. I'll read something and think, "I think I'm supposed to think this is one of those hysterical things" but that's it, just a thought and then just keep reading and wondering if it will get better. I felt like the scripture that starts every chapter was an intrusion. I don't care about any of the many, many characters. I've been reading thinking maybe it will get better or a point will show itself to all of this stupidity but nothing so I'm not even going to finish. This author had such promise but perhaps he was really just a one-hit wonder. I absolutely recommend Ella Minnow Pea though, that gets 5 stars from me.

It is guaranteed to bring goose bumps...
i liked this book a lot. i think it was the chapter about how every girl in their teens wants a boyfriend like lloyd dobler. or maybe it was because there was a chapter about saved by the bell. nevertheless, anyone who grew up with an 80's/90's pop culture background will love this book. plus, chuck klosterman is an excellent author.
cant wait for the third
change and recombination are 2 couse of become complete
