The cover of this book is interesting, but not something I would normally pick up because I don't generally read non-fiction. Endurance seems to be something unexpected. I was shocked to read that he didn't do well in high school, and yet he was still able to become an astronaut. That alone sparked my interest, but I'm also interested to find out how much his body was affected by his year in space, and if there are any differences between him and his twin.
