A Leaky Tent Is a Piece of Paradise: 20 Young Writers on Finding a Place in the Natural World by Bonnie Tsui

3.0

I didn't finish it, but I probably won't read all of the essays in here. Particularly liked the ones on the boy who lived outside his parents' house in a tent, the self-described sissy who goes camping (at the Radical Faerie sanctuary in Tennessee) for the first time, and the man who swam from Alcatraz to SF.

I skipped several of the essays, though -- just couldn't get into them.

I really enjoyed this book - especially the essay about the canoe trip to the Arctic.
