Does anyone have suggestions for good summer reads? I'm looking into everything from Lance Armstrong's books to Spartacus. All comments will be greatly appreciated.
You might enjoy "Swimming to Antarctica." The name of the author escapes me now, though it shouldn't b/c the book is unforgettable! It's by/about a woman who does marathon swims in different parts of the world, sometimes to set records but also for causes such as peace/environment.
The swims she does are truly amazing! As a teen, she swam the English Channel. She also swam in frigid temps in the Arctic and Antarctic oceans, in shark-infested waters off Africa--where she had a shark tailing her and had to sprint to shore while her "handlers" distracted the shark--and the list goes on.
She's a good writer too, very nice description of her swims and how she trained for them.
