Fun fact:  I read when I’m at the gym.  In fact, I really like reading while cycling, since it distracts from the monotony of doing a repetitive motion and it lets me do some much needed “fun reading.”  Recently, I decided to tweet a picture of a pile of random books to ask folks online what I should read.  I ended up reading The Book of the Dun Cow (1978) by Walter Wangerin, Jr.  And I’ve quite enjoyed it.  But now I need another book, and I like the idea of making that process random and fun.
Thus, the Gym Reads Poll is born.  This won’t be a regular thing.  It’ll be a “whenever I get the chance to do more reading” thing.  The books will be a mishmash of old and new, too, which should make things interesting.
So here goes! Â Beneath the fold, there’s a picture, and there’s a poll. Â You can select up to five books. Â I assume you can figure the rest out on your own. Â Feel free to leave a comment if you’ve read something on the list!

I appreciate you listing my new novel Hell’s Gate on your site, Shaun, and I hope you enjoy it. I think readers (especially fans of seriously unique thrillers) will be in for a rather interesting ride. Please let me know what you think.
You’re most welcome! Hopefully, I’ll get to read it at the Gym soon 🙂
