read any good books lately...some new reads
Into the Wild by Jon Krakauer...great book about a young, idealistic, interesting young man who tried to survive off the land in Alaska and died in 1992. Great central fugure...very well written...
The Breaking Point: by Stephen Koch...about the end of the friendship between Dos Passos and Hemingway during the Spanish civil war. Good read...facinating stuff...
Controlled Burn by Scott Wolven...short stories about men at their wit's end, dangling on the fringes of society...it's Denis Johnson meets Ray Carver meets Jim Thompson, an it's done VERY well.
