That didn't take very long... someone to mention Tom Clany
As for me, I think Jon Krakauer is a facinating author! I strongly recommend this book to all highschool and College students:
Into the Wild: by Jon Krakauer
Here is the prolouge-
In April 1992 a young man from a well-to-do family hitchhiked to Alaska and walked alone into the wilderness north of Mt. McKinley. His name was Christopher Johnson McCandless. He had given $25,000 in savings to charity, abandoned his car and most of his possessions, burned all the cash in his wallet, and invented a new life for himself. Four months later, his decomposed body was found by a moose hunter…
Its a book that faces the issues all highschool and college students face. The fact of not knowing who you really are and searching for your calling in life... I was immediately taken in by this book.. definately a superb book...
Of course, none of you are going to read this far into my post.. so.. i'll just leave it at this.. (Why do I waste my time like this?) Oh well.. Read this book! Krakauer has many other adventure style books that are Best Sellers, including Into thin Air.

I should have added him too. Into Thin Air was such an amazing book!
