Task 10: Read a Boxall book with a wilderness setting.

[Karen]

Coming soon!

[Amanda]

I'm going with "Waterland" by Graham Swift which is about the English Fenlands and has themes about the importance of nature to history.

"Walden" also seems like a clear choice, "Voss" is also one I'd recommend (it takes place in the Australian Outback and kind of becomes a character in its own right).

[Nike]

I'll read The Hobbit by J.R.R. Tolkien.

[Monika]

I loved Waterland! One of my favourite reads this year.

Are books set on ships allowed?

[Karen]

Yes!

[Karen]

Yes, definitely.

I need help with this topic."

Mercedes, there are plenty of books set on the high seas. On top of my head; Moby Dick, Rites of Passage, the Voyage Out (my pick), Sandokan and Captain Blood if you want to go pirate-y.
Wuthering Heights, Out of Africa and the Birds by Vesaas for sure, and if I remember correctly, Smilla's Sense of Snow and the Poisonwood Bible should be wilderness-y enough.

[Cphe]

Wild Harbour might fit this theme

[Kelly]

I am going with Far From the Madding Crowd. Rural farming counts, yes?

[Bob]

Eclipse of the Crescent Moon by Géza Gárdonyi which is set in remote areas of Hungary.

[Elspeth]

I'm going to do Journey to the Alcarria: Travels through the Spanish Countryside or Dusklands

[Caroline]

My pick for this is Tarzan of the Apes.

I was just wondering if that would fit the prompt! I'm reading that for this challenge too.

Journey to the Alcarria would fit. The narrator does spend some time in towns but a lot in the countryside,

Dusklands is made up of 2 stories. The hunting expedition would definitely fit.

I read The Shadow-Line by Joseph Conrad. It takes place at sea.
