State of Confusion by Paul Jury
Rather than deal with the problems he was facing as a recent college grad, Paul Jury decided to leave them in his rearview mirror. He might not have known the direction his life was headed, but he knew the route he was taking to hit all forty-eight contiguous states on one epic road trip. His adventure finds him in a number of precarious positions - swimming with poisonous water snakes in Missouri, drinking with ex-cons in Arkansas, and nearly going to jail for (accidentally) sleeping outside a daycare center in Connecticut. But his cross-country journey helps him figure out what the hell he's supposed to do now. Along the way, he crashes with friends in various stages of moving on - John in Indiana who manages union workers in the heartland, his buddy JD who's picking up and moving from Ohio to LA to try and live the dream, and his frat brother-turned-Rabbi Ari in Pennsylvania who gives him some perspective. And once he does make it back to Minnesota - with 48 states, 19,000 miles, five cop stops, four tows, three cars, and one ex-girlfriend behind him - he's not afraid to follow his new direction.

Comment on State of Confusion by Paul Jury
Turtles in Our Wake by Sandra Clayton
'Life is not a rehearsal.' Sandra Clayton got tired of hearing it said, so she and her husband sold their house, set out on their yacht and didn't look back until they reached the Mediterranean. This sequel to Dolphins Under My Bed charts what happened next in their sailing adventure.
Two-Year Mountain by Phil Deutschle
Following a two-year stint as a teacher in a Nepalese village, the author sets off alone on a three-month expedition to conquer Pharchamo, 20,580 feet high, which has claimed several lives and is his final goal in the Himalayas. In this book, this trek forms the framework, and weaved into it is the story of his experiences.
Marsh Lions by Jonathan Scott
Portrays a vivid picture of life and death on the African savannah through the story of a pride of lions in Kenya's world-famous Masai Mara game reserve. This story is essentially a true one. All the central characters are real, and most of the incidents described actually happened.
How to Walk a Puma by Peter Allison
An intrepid African safari guide sets out to discover all he can about the wildlife of the South American continent in a hilarious book about walking pumas (can be dangerous), chasing jaguars (can be elusive) and finding love (can be tricky) » Have you read this book?
