Traveling = Time to Read

Here's what I've had my nose into over the past few months. I recommend all of these...

1. Kon Tiki - Thor Heyerdahl: Thor's true 1950's adventure across the Pacific on a Balsa wood raft to prove his theory that Pacific islanders migrated from South Am. A Classic. Quick read.

2. Mr. Nice - Howard Marks: Wow! This guy did some serious pot smuggling. Found this at a campground, entertaining read.

3. Endurance - Alfred Lansing: Amazing story! The true story of Ernest Shackleton's voyage to the antarctic gone wrong.

Currently reading:

A Short History of Nearly Everything - Bill Bryson: Not sure why I haven't read this already, I like this kind of stuff. Lots of good info that I'll never need to know.
