Image via WikipediaI was very sorry to finish Richard Proenneke's book One Man's Wilderness: an Alaskan Odyssey. His determination to live alone in the Twin Lakes region and fashion the majority of his furniture, housing and tools is inspirational. What time he had remaining after the physical effort required by self sufficiency he spent following the wildlife of the area, soaking up the geography of the region, and writing his observations. This book is sadly only a short 222 pages but can be followed up with books by Michael Pollan, Farley Mowat and Bernd Heinrich.
