I'm not reading it right now, but anyone who has enjoyed "Into The Wild" by Jon Krakauer should be interested in this news item:-

Loved that book. Saw that story.

Alexander Supertramp is one of my favorite heros.


Suelo and the book about him The Man Who Quit Money is also very inspiring.

It was originally written in the mid-80s,
but it's surprisingly relevant these days.

This was excellent. It weaves hilarious elements like the biting depiction of white america with tragic themes like the humiliation of aging, the reactionary nature of identity, and the mental toll of social expectations. Great writing, imagery, and character building all around too. I've met every character in this book, I may even be one.

I liked wuthering heights. I agree it's technically problematic, but it's just so wild in a totally mental way, I love it. Even the technical issues can be funny, like at the beginning when Cathy and Heathcliff fall in love, she just completely ignores the show don't tell principle and more or less postulates that they're in love and you have to take her word for it. Like believable story building, she has no time for that ****, she wants to get to the dark part and go nuts. Bless her
