Into the Wild by Jon Krakauer (Paperback)

The true story of a young man who gave away his savings, abandoned his car and walked alone into the Alaskan wilderness. Krakauer pieces together why he went, what he was searching for, and what it cost him.

Read it if: you've ever wanted to walk away from everything, and want an honest look at both the pull and the price.

Second Shelf — a steady read. A week or two of evenings.
