I recently got back from a month in Bolivia, during which I spent 10 days in the Amazon basin. I am now official obsessed with the jungle/rain forest environments/the tropics in general. I fucking hate winter, especially in Ohio where I go to school (Boston, my home town, has similar winters of course, but for some reason I find them more tolerable - less wind, I think).

Anyhoo, now Im feeling the need to read some good jungle lore, preferably non-fiction adventure books. Ive already read up on the topic a little bit via my interest in the military.

My recommendations:
