Part travelogue, part nature study, and part spiritual odyssey (my least favorite kind of odyssey), "The Snow Leopard" is Peter Matthiessen's 1978 National Book Award winner about the author's travels in the Himalayas. Mathtiessen writes well and I liked the travel parts far better than the mushy b.s. enlightenment spiritual quest aspect, which I found unbearable. Matthiessen's other major books include "At Play in the Fields of the Lord" and "Far Tortuga."
