Beyond the Horizon - Colin Angus
I read this book during my last holiday and was quite entertained.
Basically, the author writes about his experiences being the first man to circumnavigate the globe on his own power. This means using his own strength. No sailing, no motorized vehicles, etc. He cycles, walks, and rows around the northern hemisphere.
The book is interesting not just because of the physical trials and setbacks that he incurs, but also the relationships he has with his teammate and fiance (who later joins him on his travels).
I won't talk much more about it here, but I definitely recommend reading it. It is an easy read with lots of interesting tales and trivia from around the world.
By the way, Colin Angus is from Vancouver, Canada.
