My favorite book is Seabiscuit by Laura Hillenbrand, simply because it is a well written, inspiring book about a horse that no one thought could be a winner and it truly was an incredible animal.

Laura does a great job of bringing the reader into the story with tidbits and colorful stories around the horse, it's a great read, even for a non horse lover.

One of the most inspiring stories I have ever read and I highly recommend it to absolutely anyone. The movie was also good, but as is the case with most movies v. books; the book is much more intense and allows the reader to expand upon the story in their minds.
