J. J. (now on BookWyrm) is on page 32 of 287 of Born to Run: A Hidden Tribe, Superathletes, and the Greatest Race the World Has Never Seen

This book is an incredible account of a near-mythical Mexican tribe of ultrarunners. Very hard to put it down.

J. J. (now on BookWyrm) is on page 312 of 342 of Hamlet

Finished the play, now reading some of the commentaries included in the book. I will not be giving this a star rating since my Shakespeare comprehension skills are abysmal - but now I want to watch some of the film adaptations!

It's literally a dense read and hard to concentrate on while riding the bus, but I'll give a few more chapters a go before deciding on what to read next. Suggestions?

A distopian future with a virtual reality world and lots of references to 1980s culture. Love it already.
