What am I reading?

Why does it seem nearly impossible to only be reading one book at a time?  I am reading two books currently – Born to Run and Thoughts Without a Thinker.  One was borrowed to me from a running friend and the other was gifted to me from a running friend.  Are you seeing a connection?  I should be running!  I believe Born to Run will inspire me to do just that.

I am only a few chapters through this book, but I can already tell that it is a page turner.  It’s about a tribe of athletes who do not “train” or go on special diets and carb load before races – they just run.  I can’t wait to hear more about how they live and how they accomplish such long journeys – MUCH longer than marathons!

This book is a connection between psychotherapy and Buddhism.  I am very interested in Buddhism and have some books in the “to be read” pile, but opted to start with this one.   I was unsure of it, but it is sure turning into a great read.  I love the connections this author makes while giving background and details about both psychology and Buddhism.

Now, I am hoping for some quiet reading time throughout the day.  Happy reading!
