.

this book was beautiful. I am not sure what experiences it takes to be hit by this book--not everyone likes it as much as me. athletics, probably, and years of competition--this book resounded to my memories of these things. but of course I recommend it to anyone. and it is also, I have no doubt, the basis for the movie Rocky.
