Book list

In writing my review of Dances with Marmots, I wanted to compile a list of Backpacking accounts, primarily of the Triple Crown routes, but really anything outdoors related goes! Any suggestions are EXTREMELY welcome! (contact me via the profile page). I will put your name at the end of the book you recommended if you are the first to do so. The books are linked at the time of adding to the appropriate page where you may purchase them, if I can find it!
