Answer 2

A TEST OF WILL
By Warren Macdonald


A Test of Will is a tale of adventure, courage, and triumphs, but most importantly, it is an inspiring story about embracing life from a man who almost lost his.

Warren Macdonald, a fit and experienced hiker, set out to make the grueling climb to the top of Australia's spectacular Mount Bowen. But what had begun as a two-day adventure suddenly turned into a nightmare when Macdonald found himself lying in a creek bed, both his legs pinned by a giant boulder. While his companion made the solitary eight-hour journey to find help, the trapped hiker fought to stay alive. But this was only the beginning.

A Test of Will has the suspense of a mystery, the pacing of a thriller, and the intimacy of the best inspirational literature. A gifted storyteller, Macdonald captures the terror and high drama of his hours alone in the wilderness. He also writes eloquently about his life both before and after the accident—his training as an adventure tour guide and his vow to continue his life in the outdoors even after both his legs are amputated. In 2003, Macdonald became the first double above-knee amputee to reach the summit of Africa's tallest peak, Mt Kilimanjaro.

Answer 3

I'd suggest The Devil in the White City by Eric Larson.

It's about the World Fair in Chicago and follows two men: the man in charge of the fair and a serial killer that preyed on the young women visiting the fair. It's something I couldn't put down because it's written like fiction but is all historically accurate and fascinating.

Answer 4

"The Moral Animal - Why We Are the Way We Are - The New Science of Evolutionary Psychology" by Robert Wright. It IS NOT a book about Sociobiology. He argues for the evolutionary basis for monogamy, sibling rivalry, self-esteem, self-deception, altruism, romantic choices, familial feelings, friendships, office politics. etc. He challenges us to rethink our basic moral assumptions and relate them to not only ourselves, but how they affect others and the world. Aside from interesting content, I love the way he expresses himself with the English language, and I love the way his mind works and his ability to persuade a skeptic (me!). His sense of humor is very subtle, if you're not paying attention you can miss some very funny humor. He doesn't take himself too seriously. It is the only book I have massively underlined and will probably read again, which is rare for me. He has a new book, "Nonzero - the Logic of Human Destiny" which is in my "to read next" pile, but that pile is about 15 books high now, so I don't really know when I'll get to it.

Atlas Shrugged by Ayn Rand, if you are looking to learn something this book is for you, it is about the coercive nature of government, and what would happen if mankind stopped producing for those in power.
