Born to Run by Christopher McDougall

Very Interesting book.  A running friend recommended it to me. I thought it was going to talk about how to be a good runner.  Yet it talked about a group of Indians named the Tarahmara.  They live in Central Mexico and run everywhere, with only rubber sandals.  These Indians can run hundreds of miles at a time, and at an incredible pace.  And the book goes on to tell you why.  In the end I realized that I don't need to buy new running shoes each year.  I learned that protein isn't the best before a race, and it is ok to run bare-foot on the beach.  Very interesting book.
