- Born to Run: A Hidden Tribe, Superathletes, and the Greatest Race the World Has Never Seen by Christopher McDougall

I choose Unbroken as my first download. Two clicks of a button and 90 seconds later and the book was at my fingertips. I've just started but I can already tell it's great. I actually looked forward to waiting in line outside the DMV for an hour this morning so I could read :) Lucky me I didn't have all the documentation so two hours later I was back again!
After I finished ogling my new e-reader it was Sam's turn. I got him a copy of Zinn and the Art of Road Bike Maintenance and a 24oz Polar Insulated Water Bottle. Finally, I gave him this bike jersey from "Share the Damn Road" and this magnetic bumper sticker:

Santa Delivered!
Last night Sam and I exchanged our Christmas gifts. He gave me a Latest Generation Kindle! I love reading and I'm always carrying a book or two around with me. Typically I only buy used paperback books so it takes a long time for me to get around to some of the more popular books. Now that I have a Kindle I can get most new releases for under $10! Of course, some of the top books on my wish list are sports related. If you are looking for a last minute gift for an endurance athlete/reader you could consider:

Great post.. I love the Jerseys, and I can't wait for christmas because I know "The Long Run" is under the tree waiting for me to read...
Why did you exchange gifts early?
KO
I love those shirts! I have seen them before, they are great!
I have been waiting forever for that Zinn book from the library. Like you I don't buy books. I guess that is why I am hesitant about the Kindle. Hubby wanted to buy it for me a few times, but I said no. Second thoughts? Maybe.
If you like WWII books, With the Old Breed: At Peleliu and Okinawa by EB Sledge was amazing.
I just finished Unbroken yesterday. It's an amazing book.
Love those jerseys!
I just got a Kindle for Christmas too! My boss got me one for Christmas. I have already read two books on it and am halfway though the 3rd. I don't think I could go back to a regular book anymore.
I love the jerseys too! (I, too, am curious about the early exchange)
I liked those pics of jerseys and loved it so much. All of them looks great.I am surely going to purchase them.
