OK. Experienced Alaska book readers don't laugh. My FIL is 80 and is clearing stuff out. Never hunted, etc., but he's always belonged to a campground to get away on weekends. During those getaways he'd read books, usually purchased at yard sales. I like nonfiction and grabbed from his table, Going to Extremes, by Joe McGuinniss.
The first half of the book was pretty good and I was laughing out loud at times. The second half I started plowing through on a plane yesterday and haven't finished the book yet. He jumps around a bit. Sometimes I find myself looking for a missing page, making me wonder if he didn't drink his way through some of the boredom in Alaska in the 70s, while writing this book.
If nothing else, it has wet my appetite for more nonfiction books on Alaska. So I'll be following this thread for sure. Keep the suggestions coming.
