I don’t get to spend as much time as I’d like out of doors and try to make up for it by reading. Here are my favorite non-fiction outdoor books:
- Edward Abbey: Desert Solitaire. I experienced a miracle while reading this. Abbey himself was am interesting character. For example, he combined being a radical environmentalist with being pro-gun and anti-immigration.
- Mark Twain: Roughing it.
- John Vaillant: The Golden Spruce
- Jon Krakauer: Into Thin Air and Into the Wild. Some more recent revelations on what actually happened in Into the Wild here
- Kim Stanley Robinson: The High Sierra
- John Burroughs: The Gospel of Nature
- Norman Maclean: A River Runs Through It
- Theodora Kroeber: Ishi in Two Worlds
