\"\"Is literary taste\u2014or a lack thereof\u2014a deal breaker? I\u2019m dating a lovely man, but he has one major flaw: He doesn\u2019t read. I\u2019ve thrown everything from early Tom Wolfe to Cormac McCarthy at him, and he\u2019s simply not interested. He\u2019s not uneducated\u2014he would just rather be \u201cdoing things.\u201d Do you have any recommendations for the nonreader, or should I give him up as a lost cause?<\/em> \u2014Hopeless<\/p>\n

I spent four years with a nonreader. I like \u201cdoing things,\u201d too, so we had that in common. It took me about a year to stop giving him books I was sure would grab his attention (I also tried Cormac McCarthy). There was one writer he enjoyed: Eric Bogosian, especially Pounding Nails in the Floor with My Forehead<\/a><\/em>. I read it for insight into my boyfriend\u2019s elusive literary taste. It was funny and angry\u2014more of a rant than a story\u2014and it finally made me give up my futile book suggestions. I\u2019d say it\u2019s absolutely a lost cause to turn your man into a reader, you\u2019re going to have to let that go and ask yourself the real question: Can you be with someone who doesn\u2019t read? <\/p>\n

I ran the New York marathon! Well, I ran five miles of the New York marathon. I guess I didn\u2019t have the fortitude to finish. You know, I recently read Haruki Murakami\u2019s <\/em>What I Talk About When I Talk About Running<\/a>. Inspiring, contemplative\u2014just terrific stuff. Now I\u2019m wondering whether there might be some books out there that will help me finish the marathon the next time around. Any ideas?<\/em> \u2014Tom<\/p>\n

Wait, you started the race on Staten Island, ran across the Verrazano, basked in the glory of the cheering fans, but gave up in Bay Ridge, and \u2026 took the subway home? I\u2019m surprised the endorphins alone didn\u2019t get you further. But congrats on those five miles; it\u2019s a start. Sounds like Murakami inspired you, but you need a significant dose of determination. <\/p>\n

If you want another running book, the best novel I know of is Once a Runner<\/em><\/a> by John L. Parker. But when I was training for the NYC marathon in 2008, I read Swimming to Antarctica: Tales of a Long-Distance Swimmer<\/em><\/a> by Lynne Cox. Cox has twice set a world record for the fastest crossing of the English Channel. She swam around the Cape of Good Hope (sharks!) and was the first person to swim across the Straits of Magellan. In 1987, she crossed the Bering Strait from Alaska to the Soviet Union and got a shout-out from both Reagan and Gorbachev. Cox is incredible, her determination so fierce she is unstoppable. She swam more than a mile in Antarctica, dodging icebergs. I promise you\u2019ll find motivation in her book.<\/p>\n

In 1976, Dick Traum was the first amputee to complete the NYC marathon. A few years later, he founded the Achilles Track Club<\/a> to help other athletes with disabilities train and race. It\u2019s inspiring to see disabled runners kick ass. I\u2019ll never forget getting dusted by a blind guy and his training partner during my first NYC triathlon. I\u2019d been feeling sorry for myself as I headed up a steep hill in Central Park, when he blew by me and was out of sight before I could complete my whine. Able-bodied runners can volunteer<\/a> with Achilles during workouts or on race days. I did my first triathlon and marathon as a volunteer with Team in Training<\/a>, raising money for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society, while TNT coached me into race-ready condition. I can\u2019t recommend a better way to get from five miles to 26.2.<\/p>\n

Watching Running on the Sun: The Badwater 135<\/em> will make a marathon look like a morning jog. Warning: It may also terrify you about the potential loss of your toenails. Speaking of potential losses and determination, have you seen 127 Hours<\/em>?<\/p>\n
