Review
Jon Krakauer author of "Into Thin Air" Bill McKibben has written a wry, wise, thought-provoking book about what it takes -- and what it means -- to endure for the long haul. It's an extended meditation on athleticism, primarily, but it's also a wonderful paean to winter, and dying with dignity, and -- perhaps above all -- leading the examined life.
