It is a signal of caring, anger and even passion. Women receive much less specific feedback than men, and the small nuances of how we interact are still designed by men. Sending agendas out before gives introverts time to process their thoughts ahead of time. It is crucial to be open about your preferences if you need alone time or blocked off days for reflection. Leadership does demand some level of extroversion, but the most powerful leaders we have come to know in society have the traits of an introvert.

I felt beautiful because my body was toned, my legs could hike thirty miles a day, and my arms could pull up on branches or brace my fall when I needed them to.

I wasn’t pretty – at least, not the way the south bounders were pretty. I combed through my nappy hair with my hands, ran a finger over the scratches on my arms, and picked the loose scabs off my old bug bites. “Our last night at the hostel, after taking a shower, I spent several minutes looking in the mirror. I love the sense of empowerment that rings through these lines. After hiking 2000 miles on the trail, she compared herself with hikers who were fairly fresh just starting their journey. My favorite lines from “Becoming Odyssa Adventures on the Appalachian Trail” were on page 274 describing a scene that occurred towards the end of her hike on the AT. I thought she struck a good balance of sharing the highs and lows of a 2000+ mile trek across the country. She didn’t sugar coat the rough spots, nor did she glamorize the wonders. I thought Jennifer did a great job of taking the reader with her along the journey. Though I did learn from her adventure and misadventures. “Becoming Odyssa Adventures on the Appalachian Trail” reads like an effortless story, it’s not a how-to manual on hiking. Escaping with the help of a fellow prisoner, he winds up at a parish run by Father Miguel Hidalgo, who is secretly going against the church and Spanish government by teaching the local Aztecs how to cultivate wine and make pottery. Accused of murdering his uncle, Zavala is thrown into prison, where he learns to eat humble pie from the very people he has trod upon all his life. His life is thrown upside down when his dying uncle announces that Zavala is not pure-blooded but an Aztec changeling, taken in as a replacement after the Zavala family perished on the voyage from Spain to Mexico. Once a gachupine (pure-blooded Spanish nobleman), Don Juan Zavala’s passions in life consisted of women, horses, fighting, the spending of money and the mistreatment of those in the lower class. This particular book, Aztec Rage, is by Robert Gleason (Jennings’ former editor) and Junius Podrug. The rest were written by other authors with the ‘Gary Jennings’ title slapped on. The Aztec series was popularized by American author Gary Jennings, who died in 1999 after completing two books. So before I lose the plot, so to speak, let’s do a review on Gary Jennings’ Aztec Rage.

I’d finished it on the train up and it stank. In 2012, I did an event with Chabon at the Cheltenham literature festival to celebrate the launch of Telegraph Avenue, his eighth novel. Always, though, there was the lightness of touch, the graceful precision of the prose, the sense that here was a writer whose heart was several sizes bigger than any of his peers. He’s a writer who leaps nervelessly across genres and themes: from magic realism to detective fiction, from comic-book heroes to campus Künstlerroman. Michael Chabon’s best novels – The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier & Clay, Wonder Boys and The Yiddish Policemen’s Union, as well as his underrated debut, The Mysteries of Pittsburgh, are among the most luminous and finely crafted books of recent decades.
