Growing up I got really excited about bushcraft from reading Hatchet by Gary Paulsen and the My Side of the Mountain books by Jean George. The Call of the Wild by Jack London was good for the feels (even though its about a dog). More recently I've read Deerslayer and The Last of the Mohicans by James Fennimore Cooper and those definitely have the feel.

Coming from /lit/ so comfy outdoor literature (either something good to read outside/camping or something about the /out/ lifestyle)

On my to-read list. I want to learn more about the history surrounding the book before reading it, and a little more about biology.

So far I've only read excerpts.

It's a very dense read, and Darwin was more verbose than necessary in some instances. Still, it is a fascinating read considering its monumental importance to science.

I can handle verbose just fine, and I've plodded through a number of very long books. I've just never read very long scientific epics, mostly because there don't seem to be very many.

Also thanks for this list. Should have thought to check goodreads. It seems like a site I should use.

The thing is that Darwin doesn't use very technical language (at least, to the extent that it has developed in modern biology). He provides excellent examples and is very thorough in his discussion of them.

>>551202
You're most welcome. I've read several other works included on this list, most of them were fantastic.

I read pic related while onna moor.
Not really /out/ in of itself, though nothing get's you in the mood for adventure like some comfy spooky stuff.
Also, the very next chapter I read when I got back to the cabin was the one that takes place on the moors in a medieval setting, so that was a misscalculation on my part.
