I really felt like I was there with him when he was running the ultramarathons. I actually cried 3 different times reading the book. Very good writing and inspiring

Xavier wrote: "4. Jaws by Peter Benchley 
"One of my most riveting reading memories is sitting on my back porch in the summer of '76 finishing this book. It was way past "could not put it down." The book was just about glued to my hands and I was shaking from head to foot.
