Honest Eating

  • Author Events
Wed, 10/06/2010 - 7:00pm
The Bookcase is pleased to welcome Jane McClaren to our store on Wednesday, October 6 at 7:00 in the evening.
Ms. McClaren will be here to discuss and sign copies of her book Honest Eating.
Jane McClaren's story begins as one of failure, depression, and up-and-down weight problems due to emotionally-driven overeating. But in 1975, after an obese friend asked her to join him at a health program in Texas, McClaren's life path took a merciful turn for the better. She jumped at the chance to lose weight, vowing to do it even if it kills me! With steely determination, she launched into a 35-year study of food and health. Always yearning to understand why a young, beautiful, funny, intelligent woman had felt suicidal, she began working with a therapy group that brought her awareness of possible causes and also some peace of mind. In Honest Eating, McClaren shares what enabled her to merge her love of food with a healthy attitude and body. She shares hard-won insights about good foods that tell the truth and bad foods that lie. She celebrates simple, delicious food and artistry in the kitchen. Most importantly, McClaren teaches us that we can be healthy and still maintain a positive - even lusty - relationship with food.

Gear West & The Bookcase welcome Christopher McDougall

 

Born to RunGear West and The Bookcase are pleased to welcome Christopher McDougall, author of the bestselling book Born to Run.

The event will be on Wednesday, September 15 at 6:30 in the evening at Gear West in Long Lake (1786 West Wayzata Boulevard).

McDougall traveled to Mexico's Copper Canyon to discover the running secrets of the Tarahumara Indians. For centuries, the Tarahumara have practiced techniques that allow them to run hundreds of miles without rest. How do they do it? That's exactly what McDougall wanted to know.

Part cultural anthropology mixed with personal memoir and the history of running,Born to Run is "hilariously funny, weird, and nonstop fun to read. Runners can sink their teeth into it," says Bill Rodgers, a four-time winner of the Boston Marathon.

Christopher McDougall is a former war correspondent for the Associated Press and is now a contributing editor for Men's Health. A three-time National Magazine Award finalist, he has written for Esquire, The New York Times Magazine,Outside, Men's Journal, and New York. He does his own running among the Amish farms around his home in rural Pennsylvania. 

Tickets are $5.00, and are available at either Gear West or The Bookcase. 

This is an event that you won't want to miss!
