    Travel:
    Into the Heart of Borneo - Redmond O’Hanlon. He was a pasty, British, natural history book REVIEWER, until his editor had the brilliant idea to torture him by packing him up and sending him to Borneo for a month.

    In Trouble Again - Redmond O’Hanlon. Freshly surviving Borneo, his editor sends him to the Amazon for TWICE as long.

    These two books are bright, funny, and immensely readable. You will be tempted to follow them with his 3rd book “No Mercy: A Journey to the Heart of the Congo.” Be aware this one is neither bright, nor funny. He and his crew barely survived, it’s an amazing story, but a super tough read.

    Road Fever - Tim Cahill. Hired by General Motors for a promotional stunt, Cahill and his co-pilot/co-driver Garry Sowerby drive a show-truck from the tip of Argentina to Prudhoe Bay, Alaska, as fast as possible.
