Wow, nice haul Chris. Let me know what Unbreakable is like when you get it (PS no mail today, it's Boxing Day LOL). Like those T shirts a lot, I need to get one.
Ian,
The shirts came form No Meat Athlete on the web:

Boxing Day. Another Chelsea draw!
I've been on that site before.
Boxing Day. Another United win!
Chris,
Nice to have the largest personal running library! But I have a serious question. Aren't you by now a running expert already? What can you learn more than you know from these books? I do enjoy stories about running - like "Born to run" but not advice. I get advice from fellow runners which is personal and to the point.

Hey Old Professor Janak,
Can't we always continue to learn? The books mainly serve as motivators, but I usually learn one or two new things.
Marshall Ulrich's book is very interesting, and certainly not a "how to" book. The Charlie Engle angle was fascinating, especially after having seen the movie "Running the Sahara" and then his subsequent incarceration. Also, Marshall was a really personable guy to my wife when she met him at the Boston Expo this Spring.
David,
Marshall is a really nice guy--met him at Badwater and he was the most humble and low-key runner around.
Awesome gifts there! I got the Lure of Long Distance Running as well and have read Run! and Running on Empty before...both excellent books.
