Running with Sherman by Christopher McDougall

5.0

McDougall is such a compelling writer it's incredible. I teared up multiple times during reading about the friendships and relationships between Chris and his family and the donkeys and all their friends. All the information about human and animal connections were endlessly fascinating and well weaved in. The details about Amish life were also, though very much side notes, really well added in, and I got a huge sense of the community Chris and Mika live in and why they'd choose to be there. I had a great moment earlier today when I met a guy who's run the Leadville 100 and we got to geek out about BORN TO RUN, but honestly I think this one sits closer to my heart.
