Just read Hatchet by Gary Paulsen. Hadn't read it since 3rd or 4th grade. It was almost as good as I remembered it being. The scene with the Moose still scares me. The boy in the story, Brian Robeson, lives next to a small lake in the Canadian wilderness for about 50 days. It's the Fall, when animals and berries are ubiquitous and plump. He picked a good time to crash that plane.
There aren't many people you meet that didn't read Hatchet when they were little. For those of you who don't know it, run to your local library and wait on the steps till they open. It's 10 pm for Christ sake.
