Hi Tom, OK, I will work on a book for you with a female protagonist that you might like. And, the fact that it has been since high school... this would be a really great 180 for you!
I'm game, although my daughters will wonder who recommended the book ... but now that I mull this over, we usually ask what each other is reading and when I tell them, if they recognize it is not in my traditional wheelhouse, they will ask why. That will be a good teachable moment for me to reply that I'm trying to broaden myself as part of Dad 2.0, which includes reading books with female protagonists. And, I realize I led you slightly astray, one of my daughters is not a reader. The other one is a voracious reader. Getting the three of us to read the same book would probably not work.

Luv Krakauer ... you just reminded me I never finished "Into Thin Air."
How about that book about the woman who walked the Pacific Crest Trail? Looks like it's called "Wild." I've always been an avid hiker and backpacker and I know the movie was pretty popular. That might be the movie idea, by the way.
