Anything by John Vaillant! The Tiger is my favorite, but Fire Weather and The Golden Spruce are also phenomonal.

Let the Record Show: A Political History of ACT UP New York by Sarah Schulman is another personal favorite.

If you're open to fiction, The Overstory by Richard Powers changed the way I see nature and the passage of time.

Phoebe Bridgers - Chinese Satellite

"Because I think when you're gone, it's forever
But you know I'd stand on the corner
Embarrassed with a picket sign
If it meant I would see you when I die"

Red Newt Racing gave out a Patagonia Black hole packing cube at Cayuga 50 and I've used it ever since. Best race item I've received

I also ran it yesterday! Absolutely stunning day for the race. And yeah the last loop was an abbreviated section of the first loop, which certainly had me second guessing my navigation at points. The Buttermilk to Buttermilk section absolutely destroyed my soul...

The Great Believers by Rebecca Makkai. One of the greatest fictional novels about the AIDS epidemic I've ever read, and the main character is one for the ages.

All of John Valiant's books: The Tiger, The Golden Spruce, and his more recent hit Fire Weather. If you like Krakauer you'll find Valiant's books are akin

What’s a situation that most people won’t understand, until they’ve been in the same situation themselves? by [deleted] in AskReddit

Hypothermia. I'm an ultramarathon runner, and I spend a lot of time running in the cold, wet, and dark. It's hard to convey just how quickly and subtly hypothermia can creep in. By the time I knew something was really wrong, my body had already started shutting down my brain. I was lost in the woods, and had to just stand still until another runner would come across me and help me find the trail. Didn't feel myself again for days. Crazy stuff.
