1.		Survive the Savage Sea (Sailing Classics) from Sheridan House Price: $14.35 Customer Review: this was a great book- i liked "adrift" better but this was still very enjoyable and an amazing true story- it was maybe too technical for me but not unbearably so- the dad is a bit pompous in his writing and tries to sound like a better writer than he is and the infighting he recounts was a bit... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


2.		Touching the Void: The True Story of One Man's Miraculous Survival from Harper Paperbacks Price: $10.92 Customer Review: Joe has a taut, spare style of writing. Perhaps the only negative one can point to is that he goes a little too much into techno-speak on mountaineering. However, this is forgivable since that was the audience he was writing for. That the book became a general public bestseller was a surprise. In a... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


3.		117 Days Adrift (World of Cruising) from Sheridan House Price: $13.45 Customer Review: Took this book on a flight over to Belgium and could not put it down! You can share in this poor guys misery and picture his plight as though you were there with him. A great read, that makes you want to stay on dry land.

4.		The Long Walk: The True Story of a Trek to Freedom from The Lyons Press Price: $11.53 Customer Review: Talk to any medical personnel about the length of time they spent without water in the Gobi desert and they will tell you it is physically impossible for even half the time described in the book. This fabrication along with the spotting of the abominable snowmen makes me think the book is longer on... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


5.		Deep Survival: Who Lives, Who Dies, and Why from W. W. Norton & Company Price: $10.17 Customer Review: This book is not only extremely well written, but offers much scientific insight. The stories of survival provide flavor for his text and illustrate well his concepts. What I found most surprising is the applications of survival stories to everyday life. Gonzales concludes by offering practical... more info	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


6.		Into the Wild from Anchor Price: $11.16 Customer Review: An intriguing and thought provoking read. This book is more than just a biography or epilogue on the life of Chris McCandless. The author does a great job of tracing the last 2 years of McCandless' life while also setting other examples of man vs. wild at counterpoint.

7.		Jungle: A Harrowing True Story of Survival from Boomerang New Media Price: $16.29 Customer Review: One of my favorite genres of books is true-life survival tales. After deliberately searching for a new read, I found "Jungle". Jungle is the story of a young Isreali backpacker who falls in with a Swiss guy, a German guide and an American who decide to go on an adventure through the Bolivia. At one... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


8.		Rescue in the Pacific: A True Story of Disaster and Survival in a Force 12 Storm from International Marine/Ragged Mountain Press Price: $10.17 Customer Review: This book is surprisingly good considering the book tells the story of many boats through the accounts of dozens of people. I am not a sailing person, I have never even been on a sailboat, but this is still a great book full of suspense, horror, and heroism. As the reader you feel drawn into the... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


9.		Into Thin Air: A Personal Account of the Mt. Everest Disaster from Anchor Price: $10.17 Customer Review: I enjoyed the actual book much more than the audiobook, mainly because Krakauer reads the text so fast that he takes a lot of the emotion out of the story.

10.		We Die Alone: A WWII Epic of Escape and Endurance from The Lyons Press Price: $11.53 Customer Review: There are so many 5-star reviews that I thought I'd add a little detail so potential readers can know more about this before diving in like I did. The story starts out as a plan for espionage againsts Nazis. This part is brief. The main guy, Jan, ends up almost dead and staggering into a home... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information
