The Last American Man
At the age of seventeen, Eustace Conway ditched the comforts of his suburban existence to escape to the wild. Away from the crushing disapproval of his father, he lived alone in a teepee in the mountains. Everything he needed he built, grew or killed. He made his clothes from deer he killed and skinned before using their sinew as sewing thread.
The Man Who Quit Money
In 2000, Daniel Suelo left his life savings-all thirty dollars of it-in a phone booth. He has lived without money-and with a newfound sense of freedom and security-ever since. The Man Who Quit Money is an account of how one man learned to live, sanely and happily, without earning, receiving, or spending a single cent.

A story about a 14 year old girl who's mother was on the run and told her that she could not go with her mum. Completely alone the story is about how the 14 year old girl came to live on the streets to survive.
Walden
The book is a classic and a lot of people living alternative, free, happy lives list this book as one of their motivations for changing the way they live their life. I liked parts of the book and found parts boring, this is an old book and the writing shows.
