OK, two books. One I read, and one I listened to.
Into the Unknown: The Remarkable Life of Hans Kraus
Susan E.B. Schwartz
Really well written book about a guy who put up a lot of routes at the Gunks, and who also was a pioneer in medicine/exercise. Not sure what else I can/should say about it. But if you like biographies, you will like this. If you don't, you very well could like it, and would love to know if you do.
At Home: A Short History of Private LIfe
Bill Bryson
I listened to this on CD. Sixteen CD's! A friend let me borrow it. It was the best way to digest it because it is so dense. I would listen to it driving around town, and those short bits were what I could handle. He is Mr. Tangent. But LOTS of interesting information. Highly recommended.

I'll see if my library has them. Both sound interesting.
I do like biographies and these sound interesting. I always appreciate it when you post thoughts about what you are reading.
