Ok, NCBear. Five more...
Grant Speaks: by Everett Ehrlich: A humorous and fictional alternative biography of Union general and eventual US president, U.S. Grant. The clever and anti-stereotypical portrait or Grant and so many of his contemporaries during the civil war era combine to make this possibly the funniest book I have ever read.
Desert Solitaire: by Edward Abbey: Environmental writer and professional curmudgeon Ed Abbey recounts the adventures he experienced while serving as a back country ranger one lonely summer at Arches National Park in Utah. This book turned me to to Abbey's message about the restorative and rejuvinating power of wilderness as well as his wry writing style.
The Monkey Wrench Gang: by Edward Abbey Abbey's fictional and very funny account of several outdoors adventurers who unite to become amateur eco-saboteurs in the badlands of Utah. Bent on vandalism to preserve what they could of the rapidly vanishing wilderness, the saboteurs grow ever more bold in their exploits culminating in the inevitable confrontation with the law: The Bishop of Blanding.
One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest: by Ken Kesey: Perhaps Kesey's best, its a classic story of a bitter and tragic struggle between the good hearted screw off, patient RP McMurphy, and the cold, calculating authoritarian Head Nurse Ratched in a mental hospital in Oregon. This book is one of my favorites.
Papillion: by Henri Charriere: Charriere's moving account of his banishment to, life as a prisoner at, and escape from France's notorious prison at Devil's Island in South America.
