I am currently reading Into the Wild!  This book follows the steps of a young man named Chris McCandless who forgoes a life of wealth and comfort to travel across the US, Mexico, and Canada.  Chris finally ends his adventures in Alaska where he is found dead by some moose hunters.  This is disclosed on the cover of the book so I am not giving anything away!  Jon Krakauer authors this piece, which began as an article he wrote for Outside Magazine.   He later decided to write an entire book on Chris in an attempt to unravel the motives of this noncomformist.  The book is not extremely long and really makes you think about our society, materialism, and our enjoyment of the world around us.  Sean Penn is also directing a movie based on the book - it comes out this weekend (sept 21).  By the way, we have this book in LE’s library ( it’s an AR book too)

 Read on,
