OK, Jimmy's thread about great books got me thinking about this one. I've always loved a good, true, well-written adventure story with bonus points if it's written by the participant (probably with help, of course). I've read each of these multiple times over the years and will do so again. These are some of my favorites - what are yours?

Wind, Sand and Stars by St. Exupery
The Lonely Sea and The Sky by Chichester
Sailing Alone Around the World by Slocum
Two Years Before the Mast by Dana
Man-eaters of Kumaon by Corbett
South: The Endurance Expedition by Shackleton
Fatu-Hiva: Back to Nature by Heyerdahl
Stove By A Whale: Owen Chase and The Essex by Heffernan
