In this frank and witty memoir, Ken Ilgunas lays bare the existential terror of graduating from the University of Buffalo with $32,000 of student debt. Ilgunas set himself an ambitious mission: get out of debt as quickly as possible. Inspired by the frugality and philosophy of Henry David Thoreau, Ilgunas undertook a three-year transcontinental journey, working in Alaska as a tour guide, garbage picker, and night cook to pay off his student loans before hitchhiking home to New York.
Debt-free, Ilgunas then enrolled in a master's program at Duke University, determined not to borrow against his future again. He used the last of his savings to buy himself a used Econoline van and outfitted it as his new dorm. The van, stationed in a campus parking lot, would be more than an adventure--it would be his very own "Walden on Wheels." Freezing winters, near-discovery by campus police, and the constant challenge of living in a confined space would test Ilgunas's limits and resolve in the two years that followed. What had begun as a simple mission would become an enlightening and life-changing social experiment. Walden on Wheels offers a spirited and pointed perspective on the dilemma faced by those who seek an education but who also want to, as Thoreau wrote, "live deep and suck out all the marrow of life."Binding Type: Paperback

Casual, business casual, not a dress shirt
I like this shirt on my husband! The sizing is perfect, and the light blue accents his blue eyes. The listing says the fabric is denim. If it is, then it is very lightweight denim. Whatever it is, it feels and looks nice. The stitching and quality are very good.
The contrasting fabric is inside the collar area, under the buttons, as well as the cuffs on the short sleeves, which can be left down or folded up to show the contrasting colors.
I selected the size large for my hubby, but I also had my son who wears an XL try it on. It was too small in the shoulders and was a bit too short.
So, do I recommend this shirt? Yes, I do!

Great suit, great price
Size: Small, Color: Dark Grey
Had to send back because jacket (small size) was too tight around my upper torso so you could tell it didn't fit right. The pants though were the perfect fit, so much so I contemplated keeping the suit - it looked expensive. The suit was delivered as promised so I am thankful for that. Beause I needed it for a wedding the next day I couldn't wait on this seller as I didn't see them offering an overnight delivery. But kuddos to them though for working with me
