The Adventurer's Son: A Memoir by Roman Dial
4.0
I enjoy reading about outdoorsy, adventurous people doing things that i would never do myself. It’s the armchair adventurer in me, the me who has never camped outdoors. It’s why I have a thing about reading every article/book about people who climb Everest, but would never want to climb Everest myself.
This book was fascinating to me, because the life that Roman Dial describes about himself and his family is so outlandish to me.
Couple this with the book being a memoir (which is also something I enjoy reading) AND the emotional impact of a father writing a book-length love letter to his son....yes, the title says it all. The father-son relationship is beautifully described and so tragically cut short.
Highly recommended if any of the above sounds appealing to you :-)
