This was definitely interesting; I don‘t know if it‘s because Knight remains an enigma, or because Finkel only spoke to him a handful of times, a combination of both, or something entirely different, but there‘s something that just doesn‘t feel quite finished here, though I‘ll still call it a pick. (Plus, hermits don‘t consider this dude a hermit, so...calling him the last true hermit is debatable.) ⬇️ #thestrangerinthewoods #michaelfinkel

actualdisneyprincess Plus, the author? A little bit shady, honestly; Knight blatantly asked Finkel to leave him alone, and yet...he didn‘t. He kept intruding. And Knight? His dedication is admirable, but shit, you can‘t go scaring the daylights out of people by breaking into their homes to fuel your isolation. 🤷🏻‍♀️ Still fascinating, but also...idk, I have conflicted feelings. 7y
Nebklvr @actualdisneyprincess Exactly. Plus this guy left his family holding the bag for his bets and then allowed a journalist to tell his story thereby dragging his very private family into the limelight against their will. It wasn‘t enough to break their moral code. (edited) 6y

This is fascinating. (omg I can‘t imagine, though. Sometimes I get fussy by the end of the day because I feel like I‘m filthy. Twenty-seven years without a proper bath??? And that‘s just the tip of the iceberg!) #thestrangerinthewoods #michaelfinkel

I‘ve done a little run of fiction again, so time to dive into another non-fiction! This is another one about which I‘ve seen good things, so why not?! #thestrangerinthewoods #michaelfinkel

"Hell is other people" - this book was so interesting. I loved how it gave me a glimpse into the thoughts and lifestyle of Christopher Knight. The man they refer to as, The Hermit. A man who vanished into the woods and lived a life with next to no human interaction for 27 years! #review #jan2018 #read #booknerd #bookwhore #shelfie #goodread #nonfiction #currentlyreading #recommendation #bookpicture #bookshelf #booknerd #thehermit #michaelfinkel

The true story of a hermit | A man lives in the forests of Maine for 27 years before being caught and arrested | highly thought provoking | questions solitude & importance of nature ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ #simonandschuster #hermit #adventure #nature #michaelfinkel #chrisknight
