This was interesting. I listened to the audio, though, so as is often the case, I did lose interest at times. I had a real hard time listening to how he hunted and killed, though. (Even the tv show did not air one of his (more brutal) kills.) The book not only looked at how he survived, but also he reflected on his mental state being so isolated.

The 2020/2021 part of me kept wanting to shake the author of this book who purposely deserted himself on an island for 60 days and tell him to spend time doing things with people while he could. Once I got past that though this was enjoyable enough.

1. Little Women
2. The Madness of Lord Ian Mackenzie
3. The Innocents Abroad
4. The Raging Quiet
5. The Realms of the Gods

Those are my 5 favorite books ever, not including favorite series, like Harry Potter. Of course, we're ignoring the fact that I'd be dead in about two days.

Thanks for the morning distraction #joscho!

I‘ve been reading this book off and on for years. Today might be the day to finish. My bookworm version of spring cleaning.
