This is my #QuickRead for the day. I have books waiting for me to start when I get home so this, coming in under 200 pages, is perfect to bridge the gap. I read about 100 pages last night and I'm utterly fascinated by Christopher Knight, who camped alone in the Maine woods *ALL YEAR 'ROUND* for decades. 😳 I whine if I have to spend 10 minutes clearing snow off my car, you guys.

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. 6y
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) 5y

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

Skyrimir I really want to read this one! 6y

Could you imagine walking away from modern life and living alone in the woods? And I'm not talking about living in a cabin with the comforts of a roof and walls, but in a makeshift campsite built off of stolen items. Well, Christopher Knight did just that. For 27 YEARS.

For it being a short read, I recommend it, but I do wish the author could have gone deeper into the background story of the Knight family to give the reader a complete picture.

Mommamanzi I just started to read it and so excited to see so many positive reviews on it! 7y
