Best Books of 2016!
Tak jak co roku, czas na podsumowanie najlepszych ksiazek roku 2016.
The Best
Najlepsze ksiazki to dla mnie takie, ktore zostaja na dlugo gdzies "w srodku."
Takie o ktorych sie mysli w ciagu dnia, ktore cos zostawiaja, po ktorych zaluje sie ze sie juz skonczyly.
Moje dwie najlepsze ksiazki roku 2016 to "Forget Me Not" and "Shoe Dog."
:
"Forget Me Not" by Jennifer Lowe-Anker.
Piekna ksiazka - taka slodko-gorzka.
"Having suddenly lost her husband, Alex Lowe, in a tragic mountaineering accident, Jennifer Lowe struggled to hold her family together and deal with her grief. At the same time Alex's best friend, famed climber Conrad Anker, was dealing with the terrible loss as well as feelings of survivor's guilt. Jenni and Conrad gradually, and unexpectedly, found solace in one another. Forget Me Not spans continents and tells the story of three people whose lives intertwine to a degree they could never have imagined. Jennifer Lowe-Anker is an artist whose often whimsical paintings are rendered in vivid color and rich texture inspired by her Montana upbringing. * A personal account of a great loss in the climbing world * An elegant, gripping story of tragedy, as well as unexpected joy * An entrée into the emotional world of climbers and their families"

Shoe Dog by Phil Knight
Ta ksiazka to opis powstania firmy Nike.
Uwielbiam takie ksiazki. Dostaje duza dawke motywacji.
Ale tez fascynacji.
Juz nigdy nie spojrze na produkty Nike w tym samym okiem.
In this candid and riveting memoir, for the first time ever, Nike founder and board chairman Phil Knight shares the inside story of the company’s early days as an intrepid start-up and its evolution into one of the world’s most iconic, game-changing, and profitable brands.
Young, searching, fresh out of business school, Phil Knight borrowed fifty dollars from his father and launched a company with one simple mission: import high-quality, low-cost running shoes from Japan.
:
Very Interesting - Podobaly Mi Sie
Into the Wild - Jon Krakauer
Historia chlopaka, ktory wybral sie na Alaske zeby tam sam spedzic pare miesiecy i juz nie wrocil.
My Beloved World - Sonia Sotomayor
Sonia Sotomayor to sedzina sada najwyzszego w USA (Supreme Court).
Niesamowita historia z jakiej biednej i prostej rodziny ona pochodzi i jak daleko zaszla.
Finding Ultra - Rich Roll
Poczytajcie wiecej o tym weganskim ultra-endurance atlecie tutaj.
Alone on the Wall - Alex Honnold
Troche prosta ksiazka i byc moze troche za wczesnie napisana bo Alex ma tylko 30 lat ale historia mrozi krew w zylach.
Alex wspina sie po najwiekszych skalach bez zadnego zabezpieczenia, tak zwane 'free solo'.
Jak wpiszecie na You Tube: Alex Honnold free solo climbing to zobaczycie sami.
Settle for More - Megyn Kelly
Bardzo fajny memoir jednej z najbardziej znaych prezenterek w telewizji USA.
Minus 148 - Art Davison
Lubie ksiazki o przygodach.
In 1967, eight men attempted North America's highest summit: Mount McKinley (now known as Denali) had been
climbed before but never in winter.
Plagued by doubts and cold, group tension and a crevasse tragedy, the expedition tackled McKinley in minimal hours of daylight and fierce storms. They were trapped at three different camps above 14,000 feet during a six-day blizzard and faced the ultimate windchill low temperature of 148° F.
The Light Between Oceans - M.L. Stedman
Jednyna ksiazka fabularna na liscie. Chyba robia teraz film.
Troche smutna i chwyta za serce. Wyjatkowa plakalam na koniec (nie zdarza mi sie na ksiazkach fabularnych).
Nie proponuje tej ksiazki kobieta ktore staraja sie o dzieci i nie moga.
Desert Solitaire - Edward Abbey
With language as colorful as a Canyonlands sunset and a perspective as pointed as a prickly pear, Cactus Ed captures the heat, mystery, and surprising bounty of desert life. Desert Solitaire is a meditation on the stark landscapes of the red-rock West, a passionate vote for wilderness, and a howling lament for the commercialization of the American outback.
Never Finished - Nie do przejscia
Innocent Client - Scott Pratt
Nie moge juz czytac prostych kryminalow. Nudza mnie strasznie.
The Snow Leopard - Peter Matthiessen
Niby klasyka z Himalajow ale dla mnie za wolne.
Vera - Stacy Schiff
Opowisc o zonie Vladimira Nabokowa -- za dluga, za detaliczna, nie jestem az takim fanem zeby przez cala przejsc.
Runway - Alice Munro
O ile doceniam piekno pisana Alice Munro cos mnie odrzuca od jej ksiazek.
Annapurna - Maurce Herzog
Znowu klasyka z Himalajow ale nie dokonczylam.
A Tale of Love and Darkness - Amoz Oz
