Although Gulliver's Travels is a political satire, it is also an adventure tale full of twists and turns and fantastical places and beings. Lemuel Gulliver is a surgeon who aspires to travel the world in order to discover new places. The book is narrated by Gulliver. He gives a detailed account of four different voyages from England to undiscovered parts of the earth where he encounters strange inhabitants and foreign customs. First, he comes upon a land of miniature peoples, who befriend him despite the large amount of food he consumes in comparison to them. Next, he visits a land of giants, who are friendly toward him although he is repulsed by their gigantic imperfections. He journeys to a land of theoreticians and academics whose minds are completely out of touch with real life problems, and takes a side trip to a land where historical figures have been re-created in the flesh, although they are much less impressive than Gulliver imagined they would be. His final journey takes him to a land of intelligent horse-like creatures, ruled by oppressive human-like creatures. Lemuel feels the most at home with the horse-like creatures, but they have a difficult time accepting his resemblance to the human-like creatures who rule over them. Gulliver's Travels was initially received as highly controversial and though full of fantastical creatures, Gulliver's Travels was not intended to be a children's book. The novel is instead a biting criticism of the nature of mankind. It is also a humorous, highly entertaining book, and it occasionally offers beams of hope amidst Swift's trenchant depictions of insufferable beings.

In 2003, software engineer David Miller left his job, family, and friends to fulfill a dream and hike the Appalachian Trail. AWOL on the Appalachian Trail is Miller's account of this thru-hike along the entire 2,172 miles from Georgia to Maine. On page after page, readers are treated to rich descriptions of the valleys and mountains, the isolation and reverie, the inspiration that fueled his quest, and the life-changing moments that can only be experienced when dreams are pursued. While this book abounds with introspection and perseverance, it also provides useful passages about safety and proper gear, with a view into a professional hiker's preparations and tenacity. This is not merely a travel guide, but a beautifully written and highly personal view into one man's adventure and what it means to make a lifelong vision come true.
