The Right Stuff

I have been wanting to read this book ever since I started my astronaut obsession last year (see http://amyreads.blogspot.com/2007/07/man-on-moon.html

This book is about the 7 original Mercury astronauts plus pre space pioneers like Chuck Yeager. After learning more about the space program last year, I wondered why Chuck Yeager didn't become an astronaut and this book answered the question for me. Very interesting on the public and private views of America's first astronauts. Another book that I will have the see the movie soon.
