Book It! - Nonfiction Book Group November 13, 2009

If you are a fan of nonfiction -- memoirs, true crime, political analysis, history, business, motivational, self-help, travel -- or just enjoy nonfiction that reads like a novel, join us! Tonight's Selection: "Winterdance: The Fine Madness of Running the Iditarod" by Gary Paulsen. This is a passionate, powerful, and absolutely entertaining depiction about how one man lives out his dream of running in the Iditarod. Paulsen and his team of dogs endured snowstorms, frostbite, dogfights, moose attacks, sleeplessness, and hallucinations in the relentless push to go on and complete the 1150-mile winter dogsled race between Anchorage and Nome, Alaska.
