Brave Enough by Cheryl Strayed, 135 pages

By the author of the memoir Wild (which followed Cheryl's journey on the Pacific Coast Trail), Brave Enough is a book of Cheryl's inspirational quotes.  Both motivating and inspirational, this little book was a great pick me up.  It was a quick read that lifted my spirits and will read again.

Wild: From Lost to Found on the Pacific Crest Trail by Cheryl Strayed - 336 p.

   Wild is a story of a single woman trying to find herself on the Pacific Crest Trail, or the PCT. I went between thinking that Cheryl Strayed is one heck of a woman or one complete idiot. This book illustrates she is both, but the "one heck of a woman" wins out. From rattlesnakes to bears, to dehydration and ice hikes, this story is insightful, funny, and tense.
