[brendan · Rating 3 out of 5]

an enthusiastic blitzkrieg into "manland"

ever wonder why he ran off to thailand? solo climbed the most dangerous mountain in alaska? died? came back? needs her?

this collection of short stories, essays, and excerpts does not claim to answer these questions. however, it does suggest that the answer is less important that the story (the life) itself

actions speak louder than words...but these words do quite well for themselves...

If you can't get out to the wilderness, you can live through the daring adventures of others.

The perfect punch in the face...what is not to love about that?
