Yeah this seems right.

Into the Wild is a constant #1 for people on this board.

>>928576

Jon Krakauer - Into Thin Air
Gary Paulsen - Winterdance
Thoreau - Walden
Some of Yeats's work (ie the Song of the Wandering Aengus)
Moitesser - The Long Way

I also think Steinbeck and Kerouac do a good job of portraying the outdoors. It's not so much living off the land for pleasure as opposed to the necessity for it. If that's the case, I would also recommend Three Deaths and Kholstomer by Tolstoy - more about the connection of man and animals with the land.

Thank you very much for these titles. I hope to be able to go around some boards and make a reading list for each on /lit/ to introduce them to more boards without being total newfags.

The book presented in your image suggests that your intentions may be less than honourable.

a lot of hemingway is pretty /out/ and intensely full of feels. i was lucky to pick up a short story anthology of his that were only set in america.

he also did this "the green hills of africa" thing, which is an account of a hunting trip in africa. he literally put a disclaimer in the front that it was an experiment in nonfiction. really good
