I just finished "Obsessive Compulsive Cycling Disorder" on the Kindle. The author asked for email feedback so I complied. I threw it down in disgust halfway through; essentially I instantiate everything he disdains in cycling. Yet I picked it up and finished, because his style is self deprecating enough that I can't take his position too seriously, and because he captures something fundamental to those of us obsessed with bicycles.
Then I read "Two Old Women: An Alaska Legend of Betrayal, Courage, and Survival", and enjoyed it quite a bit. A short story telling a simple tale, passed down for generations in the oral tradition of Alaska natives.
In the background I'm reading "The Power of Now". Light reading it is not.
