Just the need to survive and succumb to your inner animal, haha.<br /><br />Thanks for sharing!John Krissilashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02683306221234743057noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5032141086951675614.post-53479280670534120642013-02-21T16:12:45.979-08:002013-02-21T16:12:45.979-08:00I got goosebumps reading that.

Thank you so much for sharing it! <br /><br />I think the first book I had that kind of reaction to was Charles deLint's The Wild Wood. I honestly don't think it's his best book, but it reached out and took hold of me and I'm pretty sure it's taken up residence in my soul now. :) I'm ashamed to say I haven't read the Book Thief yet, either. But it's on my pile!Chris Allen-Rileyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11937725992799451053noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5032141086951675614.post-15501679146494386252013-02-21T13:24:32.531-08:002013-02-21T13:24:32.531-08:00Wonderful.
