Winterdance: The Fine Madness of Running the Iditarod by Gary Paulsen
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is the true story of Gary Paulson’s preparation for and run of the Iditarod in Alaska. This man could not be more opposite than me. He chooses to sleep outside with his dogs, he doesn’t shower for weeks on end, he doesn’t eat anything but meat for days, he lives in subzero temperatures, and while in the race, he doesn’t sleep. But, surprisingly, I really enjoyed this story. It was very well written and most entertaining. It is the ultimate in an adventure book. Other than the cuss words, I recommend it. I think you would really enjoy it.
