Papillon by Henri Charrière

3.0

Damn you, Andrew Luck, for telling me this is your favorite book. You're my biggest celebrity crush, and so I trusted your book suggestions with my life, and you have instead introduced me to a book that is causing me anxiety because (1) I cannot truly know what this life would do to someone, (2) it causes me second-hand seasickness (almost as badly as any Diana Gabaldon book or The Story of the Shipwrecked Sailor by Gabriel García Márquez), and (3) I cannot determine how much truth is in Charrière's story! Maybe one day I'll get around to finishing this book, but it is too stressful for me. This may be a November read. I am not yet giving up on summer fantasies.
