Reading Record (yes, I've slowed down a bit!)

25 "Touch the Top of the World; A Blind Man's Journey to Climb Farther than the Eye Can See"

By Erik Weihenmayer

An amazing story about a man who was born with an eye disease and progressively lost his sight and at 13 was declared blind. This, however, has not stopped him from reaching his goals and is a world-class athlete: acrobatic skydiver, long distance biker and marathon runner, skier, mountaineer, ice climber and rock climber. He married his long time sweet heart at 13,000 feet of Kilimanjaro and has a daughter. Just an amazing story!
26 - "Blink"
By Malcolm Gladwell
An interesting read about how opinions and decisions are made in the "Blink: of an eye.
