    Some of the ones I've enjoyed include:
    – Into Thin Air by Jon Krakauer
    – The Lassa Ward by Ross Donaldson
    – A Long Way Gone by Ishmael Beah
    – The Hot Zone by Richard Preston
    – Shadow Divers by Robert Kurson
    – The Monster of Florence by Douglas Preston
    – The Feather Thief by Kirk Wallace Johnson
    – Privileged Information by Tom Alibrandi
    – Escape from Camp 14 by Blaine Harden (though I realize this one may not have been factually accurate)
    – Colbalt Red by Siddartha Kara

    I like books about places most people can't or don't go, crazy survival stories, ethical dilemmas, and the dark side of the mundane.

    Thanks!

      True story written by three hostages who were civilian contractors held by the Columbian rebels for 5 and a half years. Amazing book!
