[Birdtalk] Life List by Olivia Gentile

[John CAVITT]

Hi All

Don't see many book reviews on the listserv but I just finished reading "Life List" by Olivia Gentile.  It is the biography of Phoebe Snetsinger, who set the world record for bird species seen.  The book describes not only Phoebe's personal quest to see as many species as she could but also her struggles to deal with cancer, her relationships with her family, and horrific tragedies while birding.

The website below describes the book in more detail and is really neat
