Hello, Tony. I was on vftt.org doing research and read your post on good books. I thought people would be looking for winter reads, so this month's Catskill Mountain Region Guide features "Under the Covers," an article describing my ten favorite adventure books. If you do not have access to this magazine, the article can be viewed here, on my website.

Just scroll down. Last article on the left.
Feel free to share on vftt.org and enjoy.
With warm regards... Erik
