e_phemerart55) Jans, Nick. GRIZZLY MAZE: Timothy Treadwell's Fatal Obsession with Alaskan Bears. 2006.
56) Pegg, Simon. NERD DO WELL: a small boy's journey to becoming a big kid. Gotham: 2011.
Biography and memoir.
Pegg's was entertaining and often quite silly; what a geek. :) I don't have much of a sense of humor, but I am a real fangirl for Simon Pegg/Nick Frost comedies, so I especially enjoyed the parts of the book talking about "Spaced" and of course "Shaun of the Dead."
Grizzly Maze was a follow up to having recently watched the Werner Herzog documentary, Grizzly Man, about eccentric adventurer Treadwell's time "living with" grizzlies and his death by attack. Let's just say, my bear paranoia has now cancelled out any interest I might ever have had in running an ultra in the wilderness of Alaska...
