I’m going hiking for 3 weeks, looking for something to read in the forest. More looking for nonfiction books about being in nature/wilderness itself or having adventures than for books about self-discovery or healing journeys.
Have read and enjoyed:
– everything by Jon krakauer
– braiding sweet grass
– barbadian days
– a sand country almanac
– the river why
– endurance by Lansing
– a woman in the polar night
– sailing alone around the world
– woman, captain, rebel
– alone
Have read and did not enjoy:
– wild
– a walk in the woods
– walden
– alone against the north
– to shake the sleeping self

The Snow Leopard by Peter Matthiessen
Most of Gerald Durrell’s writing – *My Family and Other Animals* is a favourite launching point with his literature.
I think we have similar taste! Look into *Desert Solitaire* by Edward Abbey and *The Hour of Land* by Terry Tempest Williams (or, really any essays by those two authors).
