Wed, 01/06/2010 - 7:00pm

The Bookcase is excited to welcome Michael Gates Gill to Wayzata Community Church at 7:00 p.m. on Wednesday, January 6. Michael will be on hand to read from, discuss, and sign copies of his new book, How to Save Your Own Life.

Michael Gates Gill received significant national attention for his first book, How Starbucks Saved My Life, when it was published in 2007. The book chronicled his experience losing his high-ranking/high-paying advertising job -- and having to take a job at Starbucks because it was the only thing he could find.

His new book, How to Save Your Own Life, presents readers some inspiring lessons on finding happiness at any stage in life.

This event will be held at Wayzata Community Church, 125 East Wayzata Boulevard.

Gear West & The Bookcase welcome Christopher McDougall

 

Born to RunGear West and The Bookcase are pleased to welcome Christopher McDougall, author of the bestselling book Born to Run.

The event will be on Wednesday, September 15 at 6:30 in the evening at Gear West in Long Lake (1786 West Wayzata Boulevard).

McDougall traveled to Mexico's Copper Canyon to discover the running secrets of the Tarahumara Indians. For centuries, the Tarahumara have practiced techniques that allow them to run hundreds of miles without rest. How do they do it? That's exactly what McDougall wanted to know.

Part cultural anthropology mixed with personal memoir and the history of running,Born to Run is "hilariously funny, weird, and nonstop fun to read. Runners can sink their teeth into it," says Bill Rodgers, a four-time winner of the Boston Marathon.

Christopher McDougall is a former war correspondent for the Associated Press and is now a contributing editor for Men's Health. A three-time National Magazine Award finalist, he has written for Esquire, The New York Times Magazine,Outside, Men's Journal, and New York. He does his own running among the Amish farms around his home in rural Pennsylvania. 

Tickets are $5.00, and are available at either Gear West or The Bookcase. 

This is an event that you won't want to miss!
