My other obsession- when I can get off the computer long enough- is reading. So I thought what a great way for me to share my books with you & hopefully get you to share some books with me! I know books can be a personal thing, but I really enjoy finding new genres & authors to read. My shelves are currently filled with new 'used books' waiting for me to find the time for, so I plan to make this a regular thing.
The Lost City of Z is about the Percy Fawcett, a famous explorer of the Amazon who was looking for the fabled el Dorado in the early 1900s. Extremely driven, extremely lucky & absolutely obsessed with the idea that he would succeed where so many others had failed in finding the great civilization buried deep in the Amazon jungles. His final quest cost him his life, as well as his son's, & no one knows what actually happened or even where they died.
The story is one of duel obsessions, the author's quest for the truth, as well Fawcett's search for Z. I highly recommend this book for anyone who enjoys stories of survival, true adventure, or mystery. If you read it, let me know what you think.
Peace.
