The Devil May Care: 50 Intrepid Americans and Their Quest for the Unknown
Oxford University Press, USA, 2003
Just OK I am a big fan of Tony Horwitz's work. Confederates in the Attic may be one of my all time favorite books. Having said that, I would not recommend this book. He did not write this book, and that is clear from the first page! This book is really quite dry. It reads ...

South Sea Tales (Modern Library Classics) Jack London
Modern Library, 2002
Terrific Collection London does not disappoint in this collection. His observations are as sound today as they were in his time. It was fascinating to see that London even experimented with science fiction in his story the Red One.

Baghdad without a Map and Other Misadventures in Arabia Tony Horwitz
Plume, 1992
You'll embarrass yourself reading this. This may be the best travelouge I've ever read. Horwitz has an uncanny ability with words, to paint the scene and make the reader feel like they are there with him.

One for the Road: Hitchhiking Through the Australian Outback Tony Horwitz
