pickTwo men went out fishing in a small boat off the coast of Mexico and were caught in a storm. Their boat was disabled and ended up drifting across the Pacific all the way to the Marshal Islands. If, like me, you found the on the sea part of A Marriage at Sea a little thin, this is the book for you. Salvador is an extraordinary man with a great attitude, and I loved this book.
so-soI listened to the audiobook of this via Borrow Box, I didn't love the audiobook narrator,
but the story was interesting enough, but I have definitely outgrown YA books I think...
3.75/5

pickI 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. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
pickI 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.
pickThe science behind this one was a little boring at first, but once I switched to the audiobook I enjoyed it much more. The countdown aspect kept the thrill factor up and I truly didn‘t know how this would end. I can‘t say how realistic the outcome was but it seemed plausible. The ending felt a little rushed but it was satisfying, heartbreaking, and uplifting all at once. Not my favorite of her novels but still good. 🌟🌟🌟💫
pickOn October 19, 1984, a small commuter plane crashed in northern Alberta, killing 6. Four men survived. This tells the story of the crash and how it happened, their experiences before rescue, the aftermath, then follows the men for over 20 years. It‘s terrific narrative nonfiction and an excellent read.
pickIsraeli 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 ⬇️
