If you've read it what did you like about it? Find inspirational? Etc etc
Is there anyone who hasn't read who wants to now?
It's such an easy entertaining read, eventually I want to buy it and reread it

    Meh, I've thought about it. I know some distance running types who love it. I see it on the library's 'for sale' shelf, $0.50. I'm a cheapskate though.

    I read it about a year after I'd already started running barefoot and it gave me a bit more background on natural running culture, but I was already convinced that running barefoot or in huaraches was the way to go for me. It's a fun read, though, I should probably get around to re-reading it sometime too. And I learned a lot about the awesome Tarahumara!

    I'm trying to become a runner and I found it to be motivational and it was interesting to learn about not only the Tarahumara but other ultra runners and the science behind running. There are some crazy awesome runners out there. I'm not aiming to be an ultra runner but if there are so many people who can do that, I could probably do a marathon lol
