Through the Skylight | Ian Baucom, Justin Gerard

#HaikuADay HaikuHive

Behind on my daily haikus, I‘m not sure what day we‘ll call this one but it is the view from my skylight yesterday before sunset. I love the color of the clouds.

Die rote Zora und ihre Bande: Fischer Klassik | Kurt Held

„I simply can‘t get it into my head that you did all this for me,“ replied Branko. „Oh,“ Zora scoffed, „one really shouldn‘t think about things for too long. I always just do what I have to.“

dabbe I also have to note that dogs are color-blind. They don't give a shit what color they are. We could sure learn a lot from that. #hankandranger 🤍🐾🖤 5d

Into the Wild | Jon Krakauer

I sympathize with Chris McCandless‘ family over his loss, but also understand how he hurt them with his unstinting moral code. It seemed to be more than youthful hubris. A deliberate unwillingness to communicate with loved ones caused them all so much hurt. If he had come out of the Alaska wilderness alive, one hopes that he would have learned enough from the experience of extreme isolation to resolve his familial differences. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Into the Wild | Jon Krakauer

pick

I was thinking about this book again because I was listing my favorite movies of the century (#8). So many passages resonated. The simple pleasures. The shock of the third world. The desperation. The awe. The disconnection from modern society. The discoveries of unknown ways of life. I too will die happy. I too, wanted freedom and got it. Was it worth it? It can't be answered. You can only live one life.

Lost in the Jungle: A Harrowing True Story of Adventure and Survival | Yossi Ghinsberg

pick

Israeli Yossi, American Kevin, and Swiss Marcus are mochileros (backpackers) in Bolivia who decide they want to see a real jungle and Indian village. They hire a man, Karl, to guide them through the forest. As the title makes obvious, everything goes terribly wrong. These mochileros have no idea that their enthusiasm isn‘t enough to get them out alive. It is gruesome and harrowing. Yossi lives to write the book—so there‘s that. Yossi spends ⬇️

Texreader what feels like an eternity getting to the hike, especially the relationship between them. But he continues that level of detail throughout, and it seems he wants to do right by the men who started the journey with him to acknowledge what each man went through. Whatever you do, don‘t listen to the audiobook. The narrator doesn‘t sound human (I confirmed it‘s not AI). He over-enunciates (annoying!) and provides almost no emotions. I quit ⬇️ 3w

Texreader the audiobook and checked out the ebook. So glad I did. I recommend it but beware, this is sheer survival mode. If ever one could have almost every bad thing happen, it happened to Yossi. I hope to see the movie Jungle with Daniel Radcliffe now, but I hope it is not so gruesome. #Bolivia #foodandlit @Catsandbooks 3w

LiseWorks I saw the movie, it was good. 3w
