Living & Working in Great Places

Favorite Books About The Seasonal World, The Road, Wandering, Wilderness...

I was chatting with Kathi just a bit ago since she is driving south to Bisbee, Arizona, for some warmer weather and I asked where she was now. Page, Arizona / Lake Powell was the answer. She then mentioned Edward Abbey and his book The Monkey Wrench Gang, which I have not read yet. Another one to add to the list. : ) I asked her if she had read The Glass Castle by Jeannette Walls. Yes, was her answer. We do this exchange often and I always come away with a new cool book to read.

That being said, I would love to know everyone's favorite books either about the road, the seasonal work, their own wanderings, the wilderness or just good books that gave them insights into the natural world and our place in it.

not really a road book, but if you're into conservation, forestry, Pacific Northwest history and just an intriguing true story (ex-logger turned radical environmentalist)....John Vaillant's "THE GOLDEN SPRUCE" is a must!!!; ▶ Reply to This
