Maybe 2 or 3 days? I feel like with technology and social media and community I rarely am completely alone. <br />In fact, this question made me think I should invest in a few days a year of complete solitude. <br />This book sounds amazing- I find it fascinating when people challenge themselves in ways most of us avoid.

I like to hike alone and have climbed two of the Adirondack High Peaks alone (although now I prefer the company of my sister on such hikes). Some day I'd like to do some long distance hiking, either alone or with my sis.a/k/a Nadinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09499119739368587916noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1131924142966006519.post-74355373133341970642013-12-10T16:36:24.050-06:002013-12-10T16:36:24.050-06:00Wow- I enjoy alone time but I can't imagine TH...Wow- I enjoy alone time but I can't imagine THAT much of it. The longest time I spent alone was probably when I spent 3 days alone traveling in NZ. I don't have much opportunities for long periods alone now and that is about to get even more true in about 2 months. Yikes.

I, too, enjoy solitude and think it is good for the soul. There are Ignatian Retreats that you can go on for a weekend, a week, or even 3 months and during that time you don't even speak, except occasionally with a spiritual director. Now that would be hard, as even when I'm alone I talk to myself. I would never go away by myself for six months and the last place I would go is to Siberia! We have enough cold weather to satisfy that inclination for a lifetime! I am sure this would be an interesting book to read!

I cannot imagine being alone in a place like Siberia...I think it would get scary. <br /><br />I enjoy my alone time, and am definitely a person who feels very content with soltitude! My longest time spent "alone" is probably last year when Ryan was gone, and I was seriously laid up sick with this awful sinus infection/chest cold. <br /><br />I didn't leave the house for 3 days and therefore didn't speak to anyone for 3 days. I've had weeks of "solititude" -- but I still saw people at places like the gym and grocery store etc....Abbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06854266979976413979noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1131924142966006519.post-60547707950296839252013-12-09T16:23:48.081-06:002013-12-09T16:23:48.081-06:00I *love* my solitary alone time and hoard it greed...I *love* my solitary alone time and hoard it greedily, but I don't think I could go longer than 3-4 days! 6 months - whew!

I guess it was when I lived alone for 8 months when Eric and I were long distance back in 2009-2010! I did spend A LOT of time with friends during that period though and of course had Webster :) hahaAmberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05185652640389232120noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1131924142966006519.post-35476086969537441092013-12-09T10:05:23.187-06:002013-12-09T10:05:23.187-06:00I think my longest stretch of being alone was four...I think my longest stretch of being alone was four or five days, at one of my apartments when I lived solo. <br /><br />Sounds like an interesting read and also how cool that it's a company called France Book tours :) Norahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10673644115797850874noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1131924142966006519.post-82632925302199721632013-12-09T09:20:42.629-06:002013-12-09T09:20:42.629-06:00Oh wow this book sounds really interesting.

I'm not a big fan of spending time alone actually, but I think the longest I've gone is maybe a weekend when D was out of town and I didn't have any plans? I assure you that after a day or so I'm climbing the walls and talking to the random baristas at Starbucks for an inappropriate amount of time, ha!missrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03595843215458849973noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1131924142966006519.post-3561820287861781022013-12-09T08:12:04.019-06:002013-12-09T08:12:04.019-06:00thanks for your nice review.

This book sounds intriguing - I love reading about Russia and Central Asia.<br /><br />The longest I've spent alone travelling would probably be the four weeks this time last year in Nepal and India. I like travelling solo but I often do group tours, bookended with free time. That month was all unplanned solo and whilst fantastic, I was ready for company at the end of it (not that I didn't meet people along the way, but I'm sure you know what I mean)Sue @ SimonsSistaSawhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07709354348647064643noreply@blogger.com
