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.
pickI‘ve wanted to read this ever since reading Into Thin Air years ago. It‘s an interesting story- Chris was not much older than I am, and I knew people who held a moral compass *somewhat* similar to his… but should never actually go to the lengths he did. It seems a small mistake might have been his undoing, but I really don‘t know how he would have lived if he had survived.
pickI read this in the 7th grade and I still remember it to this day. I rated the book a 4 out of 5 stars.

When I was driving along Hwy 19 in Kona yesterday there was a family of dark brown goats (males, females, kids) just casually walking down the side of the highway. Apparently they are feral& pretty common but their casual stroll captured my attention & inspired today‘s haiku:
Goat Gang 🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐
Brown goat parade struts
Like they own the whole highway—
Cruisin‘ Kona style.

Library haul! And he was too excited about the bookmarks that he scored from my book bucket.
pickThis book follows 2 women, one a hunter who gets into trouble on a hunt, and the other part of the search and rescue team. Their stories alternate and we learn more about each of them as the tension steadily builds toward the outcome. I found this wholly riveting.
I recently moved to a new town and decided to join a book group. This was their pick for January. It‘s interesting but very graphic definitely not a book I would‘ve picked up on my own but sometimes that‘s the best part of a book club is reading a book out of your comfort zone #JanuaryBookClub#Yellowstone
so-soIt‘s a book of it‘s time, that‘s for sure. If you can handle some of the less flattering language, you might end up enjoying this book. I found the book to be okay. The monster was hard to really picture, but interesting to say the least. Ghost is the best character in the book hands down the best good boy. I‘d say give this book a chance if you‘re bored and want to turn your brain off.
