Jay Cee<p>Quinn, Carrot. 'Thru-Hiking Will Break Your Heart: an adventure on the Pacific Crest Trail'. Carrot Quinn, 2015. @carrotquinn<br>-<br>I have become more and more of a fan of Carrot Quinn in the past few weeks. I've now read all three of her books and I'm sad I don't have another to read and also irked that I don't have physical copies. Anyone who knows me knows I am a bibliophile (a nice term for "hoarder of books"), so that'll change soon enough. There are always Carrot's blog and Instagram posts to carry me along.<br>-<br>You can see how all of Carrot's books influence each other, ideas introduced in one are carried into the next, with 'Bets' being a logical product of her memoirs. I enjoyed seeing common threads and noticing them. As a reader, that's one of the rewards of reading series of books or multiple books by a single author. Ya kinda feel like you're privy to something, some special knowledge in that way.<br>-<br>Carrot wasn't joking when she pointed out Thru-Hiking is longer than Bets. 140k vs 80k words, if I recall correctly? If there's an analogy to be drawn, the book's length, the ebbs and flows of energy (it took me days/weeks to read), knowing the end is approaching and racing to get there, but then feeling a bit lost once you've completed it, may be a suitable one for Carrot's journey on the Pacific Crest Trail.<br>-<br>It's so good. So quotable. I was sending quotes to friends throughout my time reading it. My fellow swamp anarchist @helenmlehndorf loved it too.<br>-<br>Anyone who enjoys train-hopping stories, hobos, post-apocalypse, crust punk, will enjoy this. If you dislike Christians who won't give in to their deepest joyful desires because their religion prevents them from doing so, you'll find a character to dislike in this book. It's not Carrot, but it feels like that person created a barrier to a fuller, more joyous experience. That might just be my own bias tho.<br>-<br><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/anarchism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>anarchism</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/anarchist" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>anarchist</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/anarchistreadinglist" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>anarchistreadinglist</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/CarrotQuinn" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>CarrotQuinn</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/thruhikingwillbreakyourheart" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>thruhikingwillbreakyourheart</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/selfpublished" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>selfpublished</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/PacificCrestTrail" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>PacificCrestTrail</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/PCT" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>PCT</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Hiking" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Hiking</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/wilderness" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>wilderness</span></a></p>
