“It's one of the greatest. I highly recommend reading this book. It was Werner Herzog's favorite book, The Peregrine by J.E. Baker. Yeah, he's looking at maps to see what the hawk is seeing from below, right?”

Why: Highly recommended because it shows another way of thinking and being in the world.

“I told him to read this book called Desert Solitaire by the writer Edward Abbey. It's a beautiful, beautiful book. and it's very sublime. It's about his experience when he was like a ranger in the deserts in, I think it's New Mexico or somewhere like that.”

Why: It is praised as a beautiful, poetic, wild, and sublime book about nature and experience.
