From Amazon:

Isolated by the most savage terrain in North America, the reclusive Tarahumara Indians of Mexico's deadly Copper Canyons are custodians of a lost art. For centuries they have practiced techniques that allow them to run hundreds of miles without rest and chase down anything from a deer to an Olympic marathoner while enjoying every mile of it. Their superhuman talent is matched by uncanny health and serenity, leaving the Tarahumara immune to the diseases and strife that plague modern existence. With the help of Caballo Blanco, a mysterious loner who lives among the tribe, the author was able not only to uncover the secrets of the Tarahumara but also to find his own inner ultra-athlete, as he trained for the challenge of a lifetime: a fifty-mile race through the heart of Tarahumara country pitting the tribe against an odd band of Americans, including a star ultramarathoner, a beautiful young surfer, and a barefoot wonder.

Blood and Thunder by Hampton Sides.

Great book on the American Southwest from Spanish Colonial days until the late 1800s, the truly amazing story of Kit Carson, and the history surrounding it all that nobody ever told you. History is always far more dangerous, bizarre and interesting than fiction.

I thought it was a great read.

Also you might like The Last Battle, the Classic History of the Battle for Berlin by Cornelius Ryan (who also wrote the better known "A Bridge Too Far" and "The Longest Day")

Walk Like You have Somewhere To Go... by Shaqs mom

Interesting.. amusing... but I'm only into it a dozen chapters.. if it continues the way I think... it will say a lot about Shaq and a quality upbringing
