Into the Wild 1205 reviews Jon Krakauer
Anchor, 1997
Enchanting
+ Hacia rutas salvajes + Into the Wild
This book was amazing. It goes much further into the idealism of "going into the wild" then the story of Alex himself; unlike the movie. Recommend to any person ever willing to pass on the idea of society and return to our roots.
