When Nike gets it right, they really get it right. I love this. That is all.

The Redbreast: A Harry Hole Novel
I'm about two-thirds of the way through this detective thriller, and I'm hooked. It's set in modern Norway with flashbacks to WWII (catnip for me!) and features a somewhat grim hero that engenders empathy. I can't help pulling for the guy as I watch him struggle with his case and his life. The cast of characters is a realistic but motley crew, and it reminds me of other favorites set in cold, snowy climes: the Millenium Trilogy and Smila's Sense of Snow.

The Lost: A Search for Six of Six Million
I picked up this book after reading an interview with Lee Child (author of the Jack Reacher thrillers). He referred to The Lost as "the book of the century" and since I devour as much as I can about the Holocaust to try to make sense of it all, I decided I needed to read it immediately. Part memoir, part detective tale, this book was thoroughly engrossing. It's intelligent, annoying, moving, frustrating, and ultimately, rewarding and beautifully written. It challenged me in ways I didn't expect, and I was sad when it was finished.
I love this stuff, wish we saw more of it when it isn’t the Olympics. Misty-eyed now.
Simply put: Emotionally moving!
Oh! I loved that!! I got a bit teary, too! Happy Opening Ceremonies Day!
Well that gave me goosebumps, thanks!
YES!!!! Makes me wish I still played rugby, and makes me yearn for my next competition. On to making some butternut squash.
Thanks for sharing that.
Love it!
This is awesome! And if I’m not careful, you’re going to suck me right into the Olympics. I haven’t watched (haven’t had a tv) for years. But I’m guessing with the wonders of the internet……….
Being Canadian, I like this one http://youtu.be/YanUMireS9s?hd=1 – not Nike, but it gets me going to work in the morning:)
