Into the Wild
I just finished the book Into The Wild written by Jon Krakeur. I saw the movie Into The Wild a few months ago in theaters and I fell completely in love with Christopher McCandless' story. So i decided to read the book that inspired the movie. The book was great, one of the better books ive read recently. I can't deny that there is a part of me that wants to run off and live off the land... prove to myself that I can handle it. I think a lot of people feel that inside them...but Christopher McCandless was crazy enough to do it. Several people from Alaska claim that he was an idiot for not surviving in the wilderness during the summer in Alaska, but what they fail to realize is that he lived in the wilderness for almost 120 days. I doubt they could last as long as he did with a small amount of suplies. I highly suggest this book to everyone, its not everyday you read about someone like Chris McCandless.
