2017 Reading Challenge discussion

Has anyone read this book? What did you think?

I read this years ago, but I actually think about the content often. I really enjoyed it and it stayed with me, although I don't remember details about the actual writing style. I would recommend it based on the story and their honesty about the situations.

Thanks, Sharmon, for the insight. I've put it on my list for 2016.

This is my review. Just finished reading No Horizon Is So Far by Liv Arnesen and Ann Bancroft with the help of Cheryl Dahle. It is about two women who crossed Antarctica in the southern summer of 2000-2001, skiing by themselves using brute strength and sails attached to their packs. It is about their joy and wonder of the accomplishment and the dangers and frustrations of the trip. At times I was almost in tears reading the pure poetic prose and at times I was in tears sharing their frustrations. At other times I raced through the pages to read how they managed to conquer the dangers. By completing their trek they inspired millions of school children around the world via satellite transmissions and school curriculums. They got girls excited and boys as well to start to develop plans of their own. I have rarely come across a non-fiction book that has touched me so thoroughly. I am sharing it with my DH and recommending it to all my friends.
