from Broadway
Price: $13.77

Customer Review:
J. Maarten Troost is a charming person with a wonderful story to tell and an unflagging sense of humor. Unfortunately, my pleasure in his writing was marred by the many signs that he is not a native English speaker and apparently neither is his editor. While his story is totally absorbing, the... more info

from Anchor
Price: $7.99

Customer Review:
Ive not read anything by Bill Bryson before so I had no idea what to expect. I'm one of those who has always wanted to do the AT but from the comfort of my couch so this gave me a flavor of what I was missing! Two middle-aged out of shape men trying to prove to themselves that they're otherwise by... more info

3.A Voyage Long and Strange: Rediscovering the New WorldA Voyage Long and Strange: Rediscovering the New World
from Henry Holt and Co.
Price: $18.15

Customer Review:
I heard Mr. Horwitz speak a few years ago. He mentioned that he was working on a book about the travels of De Soto. In the source section of this book, he mentions that he enough research on De Soto for three volumes. I suspect that he originally intended to have a book dedicated solely to De Soto... more info

4.The Ridiculous RaceThe Ridiculous Race
from Holt Paperbacks
Price: $10.20

Customer Review:
This review contains spoilers-you have been warned. I gave this book three stars because I was entertained by it, and did laugh out loud. But I also feel cheated because co-author Vali elected to use airplanes for most all of his travels- a violation of the gentlemen's agreement he with his "friend"... more info

5.The River of Doubt: Theodore Roosevelt s Darkest JourneyThe River of Doubt: Theodore Roosevelt's Darkest Journey
from Broadway
Price: $10.17

Customer Review:
This is a magnificently written book about a true American hero. This is not a book about a photo op failed man. The book focuses on the important issues of preparation for an endeavor; but, the focus is through the eyes of people with "true grit." It is a must read in this current era of failed... more info

7.In a Sunburned CountryIn a Sunburned Country
from Broadway
Price: $10.17

Customer Review:
I initially bought the CD version of Sunburned Country thinking it would keep me from driving off I-5 into a feedlot while traversing San Francisco to LA and back. As it turned out - Mr. Bryson's account is so much more than caffeine or background entertainment that I must revisit this book (without... more info

from Anchor
Price: $11.16

Customer Review:
Having loved the movie, and long put off reading the book (whose cover blurb sold me on it long before I knew of how well Krakauer wrote), I finally have read Into The Wild.
It is a life changing book, for me - a brilliant piece of work almost impossible to quantify for others, but I'll take a... more info

Customer Review:
I got this book from the library; after the first pages I knew I had to buy it, it was the best backpacking book I ever read. Dan White describes exactly how it is on the trail, getting lost, loosing stuff, wondering where the next water is and is it really worth the ordeal. I loved his desciption... more info
