    Good advice. Thanks.

    While keeping in mind that it isn’t always the wind that is causing that noise in the woods, I recommend Jim Corbett’s book Man Eaters of Kuamon about the authors hunt for man eating tigers in Northern India. The book is best read by flash light in the dead of night, preferably in an isolated area deep in the wilderness.

    I really enjoyed reading "A Walk in the Woods" by Bill Bryson, he's got a great conversational style of writing that makes reading much less of a headache.

    If you're a heavy reader, I highly recommend "A Short History of Nearly Everything", also by Bryson. He puts most of the greatest scientific theories and universal perspectives into terms that most anyone could get their head around. Definitely an eye opener!

    I concur with the suggestion of Unbroken, it's a super read.

    I have a Sony Reader, which means I can take 2000 books and the battery lasts for a month. I carry several translations of the Bible (HCSB is great), some serious theology, Donald Miller for not so serious theology, Clive Cussler for adventure, Jefferson Bass for medical suspense, Alan Bradley for light-hearted suspense you can share with kids (I like Flavia de Luce too), Tim Dorsey for ridiculous Florida adventure. (I wonder when Serge Storms will have his own movie,) and usually a local history book or two.

    Any other podcast recommendations (or perhaps books on tape)? I really enjoy listening to the Dirtbag Diaries, and would like to find some other podcasts or adventure stories for these long winter nights when I'm hanging in my hammock.

    Like reading Jaws when you're at the beach, how about picking up a copy of Help! A Bear is Eating Me by Mykle Hansen before your next hang.
