Kingbird Highway (by Kenn Kaufman)

This book was a Christmas gift from me to me and I just tore through it. It's the memoir of Kaufman's birding Big Year in 1973, when he hitchhiked around North America as a teenager to try and break the record. The subject matter of course is why I picked it up, but it's also extraordinarily well-written. If you have any interest at all in birding or in crazy quests, you'd probably enjoy this. I absolutely loved it.
