I just read "Doctor on the move" by Ray Cope. It is a small publisher type thing. A neat autobiography/travelogue by a lesser known person. I got it at http://www.doctoronthemove.com/

I liked "The Keys of Egypt"-the story of a Frenchman's obsession with unlocking the secrets of Egypt.

Champollion features in a couple of episodes of the BBC Docu-Drama 'Egypt':

This has only just been shown on BBC over here so I've no idea if and when it'll make an appearance on BBC America/DVD (if you were interested).

I found one, though I haven't read it:Lou_reed said:Thanks for the suggestions everyone
If anyone can help i'm looking for some non-fiction books about someone surviving in the jungle.
Thank you.
Jungle: A Harrowing True Story of Survival by Yossi Ghinsberg
It's about a man who finds himself completely lost and alone in jungle, under very harsh conditions, and how he survives.

So many great NF books
I chose these titles for the NF book club at my library (yes, I am one of the buns, although I prefer to call it a chignon). The group loved them, and so did I.
The Know-It-All: One Man's Humble Quest to Become the Smartest Person in the World, by A.J. Jacobs - This book was hilarious. I laughed out loud on the bus, drawing stares and "Isn't she special?" glances.
Banvard's Folly:Thirteen Tales of Renowned Obscurity, Famous Anonymity, and Rotten Luck, by Paul Collins - Some tragic, some funny, all eccentric.
The Great Hedge of India, by Roy Moxham - Who ever heard of a 2,504 mile-long hedge dividing the subcontinent? Me neither, but it was there, and now you can read all about it.
We're actually reading Stiff next. I have a secret mission to make as many people read that book as possible. I can't wait to get my hands on Spook, her next book.
