1.		Into the Wild [2007] from Paramount Home Entertainment (UK) Price: £5.98 Customer Review: The good bits in this movie are all in the visual part. The camera work is stunning and the wildness of Alaska hits you hard. But I couldn't imagine that anyone was as perverse or plain dumb as this character. Surely on your first day in a snowbound winter landscape, you don't willingly jump... more info	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information

3.		Into Thin Air: Personal Account of the Everest Disaster from Pan Books Price: £5.19 Customer Review: This has to be the best book I have read in a long time. I literally could not put it down !

4.		Walden: Or, Life in the Woods (Dover Thrift) from Dover Publications Inc. Price: £2.25 Customer Review: In a topsy-turvy world where madness, greed, and evil are now the perceived normailty and "common sense", books like Walden are confirmation that it is better to be different to the majority. Thoreau elaborately discusses the wisdom which some of us may at times have pondered on. Many future... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information

Under the Banner of Heaven: A Story of Violent Faith from Pan Books Price: £5.99 Customer Review: Brilliant account of a religion and how it lead to the murder of innocents by people carrying out what they thought was God's work.

7.		"The Call of the Wild, White Fang, and Other Stories (Oxford World's Classics) from Oxford Paperbacks Price: £6.99 Customer Review: The stories contained within this book are all excellent. You may well find yourself losing track of time as they draw you in and don't let go. It's surprising how modern the stories contained within the book (Call of the Wild, White Fang, etc.) feel.

8.		Touching the Void from Vintage Price: £5.49 Customer Review: Putting aside the storyline of `Touching the Void' my reason for submitting this review is to pay homage to a masterpiece of writing. If I had to select a single volume as the very best from my collection of over 1,000 climbing and mountaineering books it would be Joe Simpson's `Touching the Void'.... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information

9.		White Fang and The Call of the Wild (Penguin Popular Classics) from Penguin Classics Price: £2.00 Customer Review: Two lovely stories that I always meant to read as a boy. Nevertheless, having recently read The Call of the Wild and White Fang, I can honestly say they are among the few stories where I willingly suspended reality for the duration. I'm now reading (with a bit of paraphrasing) White Fang to my... more info	Customer Rating: 5.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information

10.		Blood River: A Journey to Africa's Broken Heart from Vintage Price: £3.86 Customer Review: One has to admit that Tim Butcher's journey through the war torn DRC is an amazing exploit, albeit more than slightly foolish! The same cannot be said about the book. It's an easy to read travel story which is decent entertainment on a long haul flight, but I cannot understand the purpose of the... more info	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information
