I just finished Endurance: Shackleton's Incredible Voyage By Lansing and would welcome any suggestions on similar books. I just started Uncle Tom's Cabin.

I loved "Unbroken" too. It was slow at first and it took me a while to get into it but then I was hooked. Books like that offer a lot of perspective on hardship. It's amazing what people can go through.

In the midst of Middle State written by a retired professor friend of mine, Mike Miller. It's a real chuckle for anyone ever associated with a university bureaucrazy!

Hey Dirt, Mark has been a very close friend of mine for some 30 years. He's a great writer of history & theology, a pretty good poet, and a so so gardener.

Let him know I'm learning a great deal and extend my thanks for writing it.
