The Stranger in the Woods: The Extraordinary Story of the Last True Hermit by Michael Finkel

3.0

For the uniqueness of the story, 5 stars. A anonymous, unidentified hermit who spends a quarter century alone in the woods, breaking into cabins and stealing stuff, who becomes as tolerated as water damage and mosquitoes by a small Maine community? Where people leave food and stuff they know he always goes for sitting on the porch so they don't have to replace windows? A hermit who likes certain foods but leaves others? Who takes doors off the hinges when possible so as not to damage locks? Yeah. pretty freaking interesting story.
