[pct-l] Adventure books

[saskia.home@xxxxxxxxxx (Saskia Daru)]

Yes yes yes! I'd love to have some good tips on travel and hiking books.

I liked Fresh Air Fiend by Paul Theroux. He's more of a kayaker, but a
lovely read. Short stories about his writing career as well as his
travels.

And Nicholas Crane "Clear Waters Rising" about a trip from the tip of
Spain to Istanbul over the crest of the European mountain ranges. He
takes over a year and is in the Alps in winter... Very understated sort
of a hiker, carrying cotton clothing and an umbrella... Especially
interesting for his observations of hiking in Romania and Ukraine.
