I am reading 8 books right now, none of them quickly.
The one that is getting most of my attention is:
Following Atticus
http://www.amazon.com/Following-Atti...0201634&sr=8-1.
This book is about a man who hiked all the 4,000 foot peaks in New Hampshire in the summer and winter with his small dog. I come from New England so this story is of interest to me. I have hiked some of those mountains but not in the winter and not with the same drive and determination of the writer. The author succeeded in summitting where other seemingly better-shaped hikers did not.
This may not sound all that interesting from my description but it is enjoyable - sort of a modern day Walt Whitman or Henry David Thoreau. I also have a dog of similar size and appearance to the authors.
People always tell me to not hunt alone because it is dangerous, even though all I see while hunting in Colorado is orange vests. This man hiked 48 peaks, twice each, in the 90 days of winter, often at night.
This is second on my list
Triple Agent - the Al-Qaeda Mole that Infiltrated the CIA.

This one is not as mind-calming as the one above.
Gunfight : the battle over the right to bear arms in America
by Winkler, Adam.
This is about gun control in history and the Heller case. As a gun rights advocate, I feel this book is mostly un-biased.
The will to climb : obsession and commitment and the quest to climb Annapurna--the world's most deadly peak
by Viesturs, Ed.
I lost interest in this. There was a lot of history of other expeditions.
Making supper safe : one man's quest to learn the truth about food safety
by Hewitt, Ben.
I started this but need to continue. I am an advocate of raw-unpasteurized milk, beef tallow, lard, duck fat, natural foods, raw eggs, coconut oil, sea salt, avoidance of canola\corn\ soy oils, all other soy-anything except for soy sauce; so this book is up my alley.
Four Hour Body by Tim Ferriss - done with it, returning to library.
