Welcome to Litsy!

I‘ve got a new book, hot tea and a soft light over my shoulder on this rainy afternoon. Life is good. ☺️

Finishing up a paper while listening to an audiobook, I guess finals aren‘t all that bad

This was my recent treadmill ebook, and so good. The author is deep in student loan debt and works towards paying it down by taking hard jobs in remote Alaska and the like. After getting into Duke‘s grad school, decides to secretly live in a van on campus in order to avoid further debt. There‘s also a parallel story about his best friend who takes a job at a for-profit university and ends up testifying about their shady deals. Student loans suck!!

I cannot express how much I enjoyed this book. I had to read it for my book club, and I'm so happy I did, because it wouldn't be a normal pick for me. It's the story of Ken Ilgunas and his quest to get out of debt from school loans. I read the book in one day. It's awesome and inspiring. Must read

Great book! Quick read and very entertaining. A story about a college student concern over his debt turned into a a great discussion about what we should want out of life.

Walden on Wheels is a memoir about a man who graduates college with a large amount of student loans, pays it off and then lives in a van to save money during graduate school. This is something I have been really excited to read and Ilgunas' style is very entertaining!
