Ten more books to take to the moon
Oh oh oh! Before I say anything else - ya’ll gotta get your butts out there and pick up ESPN Magazine’s Body Issue! It is to die for! I ditched my Sports Illustrated subscription years ago because I got sick of reading the word ‘iconic’ in every other sentence. Last year, I spotted the ESPN Body Issue, bought it, loved it, and got a subscription. The magazine is great in every way. I actually read it from cover to cover and I’m, um, a female - Sports Illustrated is all guy all the time and even though I break down and pick up the Swimsuit Issue for hubby, I secretly hate that damn Swimsuit Issue - it’s just T and A and maybe some sand patted into the butt crack.
So go get the Body Issue - ESPN does what I’ve been saying Sports Illustrated should do - they feature the wonder of the human body, human performance, and real athletes, men and women - different sports, different ages, even athletes with physical challenges to overcome. I have such an enormous crush on ESPN Magazine!

Yeah - I love ESPN! Their tennis coverage has been a breath of fresh air; their enthusiasm is infectious. I even love the online coverage (though they blacked out the Stanford/USC game this weekend, and you can’t even get it a day later!) Nonetheless, ESPN seems contemporary in a way that Sports Illustrated is not. I totally get what you mean by finding Sports Illustrated a fuddy-duddy.

Oh, Julia We read l’Assomoir in my old book club (Zola) and it left me nearly suicidal. I had a friend - a para-Olympian with one of those prostheses. He had had cancer when he was 18 and lost the leg. A few years ago he got a different cancer and passed away but he would run the track at the Y in these huge bounding steps and he was always an inspiration.
