Why read it?

1 author picked Destination Truth as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

Combining fun facts, absorbing backstories, and his trademark wit, Gates takes readers along on an unforgettable expedition through the wild—and his own lifetime of enthralling adventures.

From Richard's list on make you laugh while you learn.
