from Penguin (Non-Classics)
Price: $8.50
Customer Review:
This book was a gem! So well written, so enjoyable, thought provoking, laughable that it was hard for me to see it end. I had never read any of this author's works before. After reading this book, I know I will read them all. | 3.5 / 5.0

from Anchor

Customer Review:
Krakauer, with his experience of extreme adventures and good understanding of psychology, has done an excellent work of investigation.
Methodically, he allows the reader to better understand this tragic story, clearing alongside McCandless of foolishness and irresponsibility suspicions. He... more info | 4.0 / 5.0

| 3. |  | I'm a Stranger Here Myself: Notes on Returning to America After 20 Years Away
from Broadway
Price: $10.17
Customer Review:
After reading "A Short History of Nearly Everything," I became a fast fan of Mr. Brysons writing style. I felt that he inserted humor and wit with accurate fact.
However, this book takes on a very hostile, almost scathing review of the USA. I pity the foreign reader on what seems to be a very... more info | 4.0 / 5.0

| 4. |  | Blue Highways: A Journey into America
from Mariner Books
Customer Review:
I like both travel books and memoirs, well-written ones at least. Furthermore, I love long-distance driving (I find it therapeutic), and for years I have fantasized about taking an extended road trip around the United States. Thus, I am predisposed to liking BLUE HIGHWAYS. Alas, actually reading it... more info | 4.0 / 5.0

from Ocean Press
Price: $10.92
Customer Review:
Very good book to read to learn what goes on in the head on Che. He shares his emotions and passion for life and everything that comes along with it. This book is based more on his personal opinions, likes and dislikes. You would get the opportunity to get in his head and read his thoughts. A little... more info | 4.0 / 5.0

from Scribner
Price: $11.20
Customer Review:
I'm not into pop culture as much as those around me, but this book was interesting and hysterical. I like the book so much, if Klosterman ever dies tragically, I might trek to the place of his demise.

| 8. |  | Ghost Rider: Travels on the Healing Road
from Ecw Press
Price: $13.57
Customer Review:
I have skimmed enough of it to provide some thoughts. First, you need the proper mindset to read it. For those us without a motorcycle or the time to journey as Neil has done, his travels offer a certain appeal. He comes across as a loner under duress. I think many of us can relate to the feeling of... more info | 4.0 / 5.0

| 9. | ![]() | Homage to Catalonia
from Blackstone Audiobooks
Price: $44.95
Customer Review:
This is a must-read for persons interested in the Spanish Civil War, and it's a side of Orwell that seems to be rarely discussed. Amazingly, Orwell even manages some humor in the midst of this terrible conflict (unlike Hemingway) as Orwell paints the picture of the 1930s Spain that was about to go... more info | 4.5 / 5.0

Customer Review:
As a book-lover, you probably have a favorite that you read a couple of times a year. It sits there in your bookcase, and as you pass by you glance at it and smile, thinking of how much it's meant to you. And one day as you notice it, you say to yourself, "It's time I read this again!"
And so... more info | 4.0 / 5.0
