I would recommend "Wild: From Lost to Found on the Pacific Crest Trail" by Cheryl Strayed. This memoir beautifully captures the challenges and transformative power of nature. Strayed’s journey along the Pacific Crest Trail, armed with minimal supplies and profound personal struggles, illustrates the resilience of the human spirit. It’s not only about surviving in the wilderness, but also discovering oneself when stripped of modern comforts.
For my interests in wilderness living, this book can be both inspiring and practical, as it reflects on survival skills and the mental strength needed for such an adventure.
This is one my most treasured books I own

@HumanEarth Not slamming the book (which I liked) or your enjoyment of it in any way, but as an experienced hiker and backpacker, that book unleashed a whole lot of problems.
It encouraged those with little to no experience to "find" themselves on the trail and it turned in to a TON of rescues and expensive failures. Grew even more after the film came out.
What it promoted bares very little resemblance to what it really is. They call it "The Wild Effect." And there was a lot of push back by the backpacking community. There still is. So it struck a chord in a few ways.

A Confederacy of Dunces is a great read. Set in New Orleans in the early 1960s with a bunch of whacked out characters. It's funny.
