Reading a new book. Into the Wild. A Jon Krakaur book. I love the adjectives he uses, and the seamless story lines. I love his sentence structure and how his imagery comes alive from the page in my mind.
This novel is about a young man who denounces the materialistic American Dream to live a life as a vagabond, a rubber tramp, a nomad explorer. I am not very far into the book yet but so far it is so unbeleiveable. I cant imagine giving up everything to live a life like he did. So solitary, so isolated, yet he was so happy. He had impeccable character. I wish I could have met him. I do feel like that old adage, "the things you own end up owning you" is true. Try as I might, I can't seem to become more of a minimalist.
Can I help it if I like pretty things?
