Into the Wild

Finished this short non-fiction by Jon Krakauer. Good book. Chris McCandless was a kid with an incurable need to tramp around. After he graduated college, he essentially divorced himself from his family, got rid of his worldly possessions and hit the road. He ultimately wound up on a journey to Alaska to live alone in the wilderness, presumably to learn something. Who knows what. Through a few miscalculations he wound up dead in the woods. Kraukauer collected some info about McCandless from his friends and family to try and figure out why McCandless wound up where he did.

Trying to make sense of where you belong in the world can be hard sometimes, I guess. I can certainly relate to that.
