An Unexpected Type of Beach Read
"I like my adventures paired with a cup of tea and my softest blanket. Life-and-death stakes? Dangerous mysteries? Motley crews pitting themselves against impossible odds? Sign me up—but only vicariously, please."
"Holland collected a list of great adventure narratives that will send you somewhere incredible from the comfort of your couch. My wife has adopted my nonfiction-thriller habit, which led her to David Grann's The Lost City of Z."
