Last Chance To See

I know I haven't talked much about books I've read, and that's probably quite unfair of me.  There are a lot of times I'll simply curl up with a good book (or even a bad book) and read it, taking time to flip back and forth between pages and develop the world the author intended in my own mind.  I'll find a paragraph or two that excites my imagination and dwell on them, picking apart word usage and using vague details to create a large canvass that my mind can then fill in the details on.

In a fantasy world, a science fiction universe, or even an exotic location, this can use up a lot of my reading time, but there's something else that gets my mind racing just as much: a personal story, especially one with a touch of adventure.

Such is the case with Douglas Adams' book Last Chance To See, I book I think everybody should read and keep on them if they do any traveling.
