Patch Book Club: 'Born to Run: A Hidden Tribe, Super Athletes, and the Greatest Race the World Has Never Seen'

We're big readers here at Patch, and in that light, we thought it would be a good idea to get a discussion going on what books we editors and our readers are reading lately. 

But the discussion only begins with us. If you've read this week's highlighted book, let us know what you thought of it, and suggest other books for future discussion.

This week, we take a look at the national bestseller, "Born to Run: A Hidden Tribe, Super Athletes, and the Greatest Race the World Has Never Seen" by Christopher McDougall.

The book is not only a fantastic read; it's a solid piece of journalistic effort by the author, who lays out his account of tracking down an indigenous group of runners known as the Tarahumara of Mexico. McDougall meets various characters along his journey, which began with a foot injury during one of his regular runs. 

The book may be a great read for seasoned runners, but for those looking to take part in the sport, it provides hefty information on why humans were actually "born to run."

Have you read McDougall's book?
