Wild by Cheryl Strayed is a memoir of a woman who takes a 1100-mile solo hike who loses everything, and through her adventure, she becomes herself again. This book is pretty popular because it just became a movie last year. It has an inspiring tone and a descriptive and lyrical writing style which is relative to travel fiction.
The Devil in the White City by Erik Larson is a well-told story of the events taken during the building and events of the Worlds Fair which took place in Chicago, circa1893. Larson depicts the true life events of Daniel H. Burham, who was the architect of the Worlds Fair, and of Dr. H. H. Holmes, a serial killer who used the Worlds Fair to lure victims. This book is very engaging and has a suspenseful and disturbing tone. It is very detailed and gritted. I would recommend this book to anyone that reads true crime or murder mystery fiction.
