The Final Frontiersman: Heimo Korth and His Family Alone in Alaska’s Arctic Wilderness by James Campbell Whiteįirst Wilderness: My Quest in the Territory of Alaska by Sam Keith

Police Tales, and Things I’d Rather Not Talk About by Alan L. One Man’s Wilderness by Sam Kieth and Richard Proenneke Maybe you’ll find your next favorite book on this list! Books that have been boldfaced are either ones that I particularly liked or thought were important. Many books could easily fit in more than one category and at some point I will probably go back and reclassify a few of them into other categories. The books on this list have been grouped into rough categories in no particular order. So I compiled this list of just those relevant titles with the hope that it would inspire others to read more. I’ve noticed that other people that love the outdoors also tend to love reading about the outdoors. About half of the books I read in any given year fall in that category. I especially read books about science, nature, and the outdoors (including hiking, fishing, and hunting stories). What do I read? A little of everything – biography, history, science fiction, fantasy, mystery, historical fiction, and more. Even with that missing interval, there are more than 1,000 books on my list. Rather than starting a new list, I didn’t record anything for the next nine months… I wish I knew what I read in that time. In March 2011, we moved and in the hubbub of moving my book list was temporarily lost. With one major exception, I’ve faithfully kept that list ever since. I don’t record anything else about the book. My list is pretty simple I just record the title, author, number of pages, and where the book came from (my person library, a public library, borrowed from someone else, etc.). In January 2005, I decided to start keeping a list of every book that I read.

Now, I’m adding forty-six books that I read in 2022. In March 2020 I shared this list for the first time and I’ve updated it each of the past two years. It’s time to share my list of outdoor books again.
