Post Christmas Reading And Skiing Binge

I have logged many kilometers and lots of vertical since the big storm. So too have I blasted through many a delightful page. As always books make up a big portion of our family gifts under the tree. This year's titles include: The Longest Fall, Juggernauts, An Honorable Run, And Then The Vultures Eat You: true tales about ultra-marathons, The Elements of Effort, The Silence of Great Distance: women running long, Bone Games: extreme sports, shamanism, zen, and the search for transcendence, Mount Analogue, Bodies From The Ice: melting glaciers and recovery of the past, well as the guidebook for the classic climbs of the Eastern Alps.
