I just finished The Secret Life of Dust. There's more to dust, it turns out, than you might expect. I'm never going to feel the same about the simple act of breathing. With each breath, I could be breathing in just about anything. Nevertheless, this was not a book that I could read in one sitting. Dust can be a little dry, so it's best to read about it in small doses. There's a tremendous amount of details and facts in this book. |

Not only did I see the Seabiscuit movie last weekend, I also read the book. As you might expect, I liked the book more than the movie, but the movie is a very effective adapation of a gripping story. This is not just a story about a very fast horse. It's a story about a horse and 3 men (the owner, trainer, and jockey) who overcame tremendous obstacles including wrenching injuries to become heroes in the public spotlight. It's also a fascinating look into the world of thoroughbred horse racing where jockeys and horses routinely experience tremendous danger and huge thrills. |
