Seeing as it's baseball season, I decided it would be good to start out with a baseball book. I've never read this one, so I hope it's good. But, for our first book, everyone should go out and read:

Let me know what works.

Here's the moment you've all been waiting for, so let's get down to the business of discussing this book. Winterdance is the true story of author Gary Paulsen's journey into the world of dog-sled racing. From his humble abode in Minnesota, where Paulsen first took to sledding for the purposes of trapping and hunting, to the icy vistas of Seward's Folly, the book is an engaging tale of the author's time as a musher.
