We all dream about it, but Wade Rouse actually did it. Discover his journey to live the simple life in this hilarious memoir.Finally fed up with the frenzy of city life and a job he hates, Wade Rouse decided to make either the bravest decision of his life or the worst mistake since his botched Ogilvie home perm: to uproot his life and try, as Thoreau did some 160 years earlier, to 'live a plain, simple life in radically reduced conditions.'In this rollicking and hilarious memoir, Wade and his partner, Gary, leave culture, cable, and consumerism behind and strike out for rural Michigana place with fewer people than in their former spinning class. There, Wade discovers the simple life isnt so simple. Battling blizzards, bloodthirsty critters, and nosy neighbors equipped with nightvision goggles, Wade and his spirit, sanity, relationship, and Kenneth Cole pointytoed boots are sorely tested with humorous and humiliating frequency. And though he never does learn where his well water actually comes from or how to survive without Kashi cereal, he does discover some things in the woods outside his knottypine cottage in Saugatuck, Michigan, that he always dreamed of but never imagined hed findhappiness and a home.At Least in the City Someone Would Hear Me Scream is a sidesplitting and heartwarming look at taking a risk, fulfilling a dream, and finding a homewith very thick and very dark curtains.
