Travels with Lizbeth: Three Years on the Road and on the Streets by Lars Eighner

3.0

This book was about a homeless, gay man and his dog trying to survive. He maintains that it is impossible to get government help if you actually need it, and gives several examples of times that he has tried. I really hope things have changed.

As a Conservative, I found a lot of the information to be vindicating as it shows how useless it is to fund government programs. As a person I found it sad. Eighner is an intelligent writer, and I learned a lot about Dumpster diving, hitchhiking, and more.

My one qualm about this book is that it tells about who and where he sleeps with people throughout this time. It really wasn't too explicit, but I still found it to be tmi.
