Into the Wild by Jon Krakauer
My choice this week has been Jon Krakauer's "Into the Wild." This is definitely a quick read...even with everything I've had going on this week, I'm already halfway through the book. The trouble I'm having with it is that I'm finding it hard to feel sympathetic for Alex - the young man who gave away all his money, cut all ties with his family, and took up a vagabond lifestyle. He strikes me as far too idealistic and irresponsible. I'm hoping something will happen once he is actually in Alaska to change my mind...

I read this book a year or so after I read Into Thin Air. I really enjoyed Into Thin Air and was a bit disappointed with Into the Wild. It is now a movie, sad story. I knew the outcome before reading the book which did not add suspense when reading it.
