An Island to Oneself by Tom Neale
The fascinating story of Tom Neale (1902-1977) of New Zealand who spent much of his life in the Cook Islands in the South Pacific as a shopkeeper after leaving the navy. Later in life, he followed his dream and lived alone on the island of Anchorage in the Suwarrow atoll, a remote island in the South Pacific. He stayed there all in all for 16 years, in three sessions. He first went there in 1952 for a few years, then twice again. The book chronicles his first two stays.
Living off the land, far away from any civilization, and totally alone is not for everyone. I found this intriguing and fun book to read.
