Jaguars Ripped My Flesh

Perfectly enjoyable adventure-travel writing. Made me feel slightly inadequate, as Cahill keeps presenting himself as a Bill Bryson-like incompetent, while he actually seems to be a totally badass swimmer/diver/rockclimber/adventurer. I was especially interested in his essays about Mount St. Helens right before/after the eruption (yeah this book is like 30 years old, I just found it in the PC library). Anyway, it was a pretty fun, quick read, but I wouldn't really recommend seeking it out unless you have a stronger interest in rockclimbing and shit than I do.
