For nonfiction, I just finished reading a wonderful book by John Yow, The Armchair Birder Goes Coastal: the secret lives of the birds of the Southeastern shore. A lot of it is about Dauphin Island. Anyway it takes each particular species of bird and tells travelogue style about his contact with it, descriptions, and what Audubon and other authorities say about it. Just really interesting especially if you start off being interested in birds.
