    I greatly enjoy books that tell true stories that are inspiring, adventurous, or about overcoming peril.

    Books similar to:

    * Unbroken by Laura Gillenbrand
    * River of Doubt by Candice Millard
    * The Persian Expedition by Xenophon
    * Endurance by Alfred Lansing

    I’ve recently been finding lesser known books like:

    * Dersu the Trapper by Vladimir Arsenyev
    * Qataban and Sheba by Wendell Phillips

    Please recommend me more books like this, the lesser known the better. Or if there are any book blogs about this type of nonfiction. Thanks!
