Takers for an LTE Book Club?

I've been pretty MIA from the blog world lately, but hopefully soon I'll get on a more regular schedule.  So in an effort to help me do that and also watch less t.v., broaden my horizons, be inspired, and read more books, I've been thinking of starting an LTE Book Club...


Now, I know I'm no Oprah and I may get exactly less than 2 people who'd be interested. The idea is not to put a burden on anyone to read a certain number of pages or even to have any discussions if you don't want; rather, the idea is to get others out there to read some great stories from real life Joes and Janes who've used endurance sports as a way to better their lives.  And actually, even if other folks aren't interested, I'm going to do this on my own and post my "book reviews" and reactions as I'm going along...It'll be a good motivational tool for me!

When I started thinking about it, there are a fair amount of endurance-related books out there:  The Longest Race; The Long Run; A Life Without Limits; Unbroken.  All of which I've either read or am currently reading.  So there would be more than enough to fill up the rest of the year.

This is definitely going to be on the list....
I'm thinking one book a month starting April 1, 2013.  I'll post what book I'm reading in advance of the first of the month, and will occasionally post my thoughts, favorites quotes and lessons, etc., from the book.  If you want to join me to share your thoughts, reactions, etc., that'd be great! I'd love to hear how some of these books could impact your lives.  And of course, there's no obligation to read a particular book...It's a totally voluntary and virtual book club thanks to this crazy little thing called the internet.

If you're interested, leave me a comment....I'll let you know in a couple weeks what the first book will be.
