The Year of The Hare ~ Arto Paasilinna

I enjoyed this book far more than I thought I would.  I think the idea of sloughing off the strains of society and taking your life in your own hands appealed to me most.  The book follows the main character Vatanen as he extricates himself from everyday society and decides to live an itinerant life with his rescued hare in Finland. 

I was intrigued throughout the whole book with his adventures, and his ability to relax into life and take what it gives you and make the best of it.  It is only a short read, and definitely worth a look if you have ever thought about giving it all up and living a freer version of life.
