Me too. That's why I'm forcing myself to do more reading for fun. Annual reports and prospectuses get old fast.

I agree on Lone Survivor!! I've seen that book make more grown men cry than.....
Yeah, I like to think I'm bada$$ too. I've even gone to some private combat training, knife fighting training, self/home defense courses. I've done some competitive shooting plus stay in pretty good shape with the endurance sports. But, compared to some of those marines, I might as well curl up in a ball or crawl in a hole!!!
I tried the same thing reading for pleasure, but really only read a few books last year not related to endurance sports. However, that's really a hobby for me. Although, I do get paid for it, I certainly wouldn't make a living at it. I do it mostly for enjoyment, so those books count as enjoyment for me more than anything.
