You may have noticed in the past for every iteration of the bookclub I have suggested a book titled The River of Doubt by Candace Millard. It chronicles Teddy Roosevelt's journey into the Amazon to forge new maps. It's an awesome read and one of my favorite parts is when Teddy Roosevelt's son, Kermit writes a letter to his girlfriend and proposes to her. It takes several months for her response to his proposal to reach him. Can you imagine?
