At 51, Foreman had not run a marathon in nearly 30 years. Over a year of training, he completes four half‑marathons, three full marathons, and a 55‑mile race. The book chronicles his physical preparation and the emotional journey that rekindles his love for running, highlights the bond between father and daughter, and explores the universal fears of aging, failure, and the relentless pursuit of personal goals.

📘 The last pirate

by Tony Dokoupil

"NBC News"senior writer Dokoupil offers a gripping examination of his longtime marijuana-dealing father, as well as a researched look at the evolution of American narcotics laws. In the early 1970s, Dokoupil's father, also named Tony, dropped out of graduate school to deal marijuana. Dokoupil recounts how the smuggling and distribution business ran and contextualizes it within the Great Stoned Age. Partly the history of a generation, yet very much a family story, the tale darkens dramatically with the father's precipitous, if inevitable, decline and fall.
