Books 10-12 for the year.
10: The Eat-Clean Diet: Fast Fat-Loss that lasts Forever!, by Tosca Reno. Since I've started running more regularly, and since I discovered I can no longer eat red meat, I've been working on my diet, because basically, if I eat junky crap, I tend to feel like junky crap, and then I run like junky crap. And also I eat way too much sugar and way too much fat. There's nothing in this book that we don't already KNOW from common sense (the less processed a food item is, the more likely it is to be low fat, and better it is for you to eat), but Tosca does present the information in a very digestible (hah! see what I did there?) format. It's not really a diet book, more of a lifestyle book. Contains some good recipes, too.
11: Mastering the marathon : time-efficient training secrets for the 40-plus athlete, by Don Fink. Yeah, you're gonna see more books like this on my reading list throughout the year. I apologize in advance.
12: Cinderella Ate My Daughter: Dispatches from the Front Lines of the New Girlie-Girl Culture, by Peggy Orenstein. A fascinating read over a variety of subjects, and probably every parent of a young daughter should pick it up. I'm not saying you should agree with every word of it, but at least pick it up. The part about the history of the Disney Princesses line of products was especially interesting. Marketing FTW!
