Never Cry Wolf: Farley Mowat

In this book, Farley Mowat lives among wolves. The most interesting aspect of the book is his process of discovering the true nature of wolves, that they're not really that violent and that they have many "human" virtues.

A nice nature read. No tears. No visceral "Wow" response. Just interesting. Also you have to endure his account of dissecting "scats." So...yes...there are certain parts that are a little gross.

I think the main message of the book, that humans alienate themselves from nature, is probably the most profound and important reason to read it.
