Road Read: The Underdog
You may know Joshua Davis as the award winning filmmaker, whose
documentary, The Beast Within, chronicled
his attempt to become the lightweight armwrestling champion of the world. Or, you may recognize him as the intrepid
journalist who snuck into Iraq in 2003 to cover the war for Wired Magazine.
Now you can learn even more about the famous Mr. Davis by reading his new memoir, The Underdog: How I Survived the World's Most Outlandish Competitions, which follows his quest to achieve greatness by participating in some of the world's weirdest competitions. Josh's two-year competition expedition took him to Spain for bullfighting, Italy for retrorunning and Montana for skijoring.
I'm really looking forward to reading this one — the reviews are raving about his collection of hilarious adventures. Josh also invites us to Enter the Fray: maybe you'll discover a bizarre competition just calling your name — pack burro racing, ax shaving, or perhaps pumpkin chucking for the holiday?
