The Stranger in the Woods: The Extraordinary Story of the Last True Hermit is by Michael Finkel. A stirring biography of a man who doesn't fit into the modern world and how he tried to escape it. The residents of rural Maine have been dealing with a series of mysterious break-ins at their lakeside cabins for two decades. No valuables are taken, just food, batteries, books, back packs, sleeping bags, and assorted clothing. In 2013, a forty-year-old man is arrested at The Pine Tree Camp while he is stealing food. His name is Christopher Knight and he walked into the woods in 1986 and disappeared. Now as his strange story comes out, no one is sure what to do with him. He won't talk to anyone except a journalist who has won his grudging trust. A fascinating tale of a man who just wants to live his own life.
