You ever find yourself reading a book that you absolutely love, yet for some reason it takes you 8 months to read it? That’s what happened with me and Thor Heyerdahl’s “Kon Tiki.” I would take long breaks from the story — reading other books in between picking it up again — leaving these Norweigan explorers trapped rolling up and down the waves of the Pacific on their handmade raft, at the whims of the wind, trying to prove some unprovable point about species migration. Anyway, these guys are hardcore and this book is hardcore.
