Can you survive anything?

You know when you start watch a TV show and you notice yourself gravitating towards those same kind of books?? That is what is happening to me. I started watching Lost, and I seemed to gravitate towards books that were about plane crashes. Both were very good, but almost too intense to read. And, of course, I had to share my favorite plane crash book of all time, Hatchet.

Hatchet Summary
After a plane crash, thirteen-year-old Brian spends fifty-four days in the Canadian wilderness, learning to survive initially with only the aid of a hatchet given him by his mother, and learning also to survive his parents' divorce.

 Survive Summary
Jane, a troubled girl, is stranded in an arctic winter terrain after a plane crash and must fight for survival with Paul, the only other boy left alive.


The Raft Summary
Experienced traveler Robie, having decided to take a cargo plane from Honolulu to Midway Atoll after a visit with her aunt, struggles to survive with the co-pilot, Max, after the plane crashes in the Pacific Ocean and they are left on a raft in shark-infested waters with only one bag of Skittles.
