Seven Death-Defying Books for the Adventurous Reader

Nice piece by @evaholland.bsky.social in @theatlantic.com about adventure books that stir the soul from the comfort of home. www.theatlantic.com/books/2026/0...

These titles will spirit you to some of the planet’s wildest landscapes, without making you leave your armchair. www.theatlantic.com/books/2026/0...

@evaholland.bsky.social Great list, some I’ve loved, and some I need to read. [Checking my bookshelf] # 1 on my list: We Die Alone, the story of Jan Baalsrud fleeing the Nazis in Norway, by Alfred Lansing. The ending is so amazing that Claire Francis adopted it for her novel Wolf Winter. 🧵 1/5
