Brian's review
I liked this book because it talks about the woods and the animals around him. It talks about Brian's life in the woods. What happens in this story is all about Brian wanting to go back to the woods and he does in the middle of the book. Caleb Brian's new friend is a ...

Into the Wild
Jon Krakauer
Anchor
, 2007
One of the best ever
This is the best non-fiction book I have ever read. It embodies brilliantly the theme of the search for God. Defintly the greatest nonfiction book I've ever read, even if the author talked a little too much about himself. Far better than the likes of the fictional ...

The Monkey Wrench Gang (P.S.)
Edward Abbey
Harper Perennial Modern Classics
, 2006
Where the hell do all these people come from?
I hadn't read Monkey Wrench Gang for 15+ years, and I don't know why, but back then I kind of blew it off. Re-reading it really surprised me. It may even be more timely now than then. Peabody Coal's descendants continue to rape the West(and anywhere else they can get ...
