Into the Wild | Jon Krakauer

#IntotheMystic | I‘ll never truly understand this story, but Jon Krakauer did a respectable job of trying.

Carleneishere My husband read a book (or maybe a long form article?) about Chris McCabdliss written by his sister that he said shed a lot of understanding on their family 6y

britt_brooke @Carleneishere His sister wrote a book, which I have, but haven‘t read yet. Thanks for the reminder! I need to move it up in my TBR. It‘s such a bizarre story. (edited) 6y

Skyrimir I watched the movie first and I disliked Chris so much that it kept me from the book for years (I was pretty young when I saw it). Maybe it‘s maturity, but I think it‘s also Jon‘s ability to dig into the story and really shed light on Chris‘s possible motivations. I recommend the book over the movie every time now. I‘m curious to read his sister‘s book as well. 6y

Clare_Riley @britt_brooke I watched the film many years ago, and it upset me so much that I couldn‘t stop thinking about it for weeks afterwards. I don‘t think I could read the book! It just seemed such a pointless loss of life, and the way he died really upset me - alone and scared, I should think. As you can see, I am the Queen of Overthinking 🙄 6y

gradcat @Clare_Riley I think you might find that the book addresses your issues with a great deal of sensitivity...that‘s something Krakauer is good at. But you‘re absolutely right—it was a pointless loss of life. 6y

Cinfhen Such a sad story 6y

kspenmoll Agree with you all-Incredibly sad and pointless loss of life. After reading the book I just could not watch the movie. 6y

britt_brooke @Skyrimir I watched the movie immediately after finishing the book. I‘ll never understand why he died this way, but it broke my heart because it seemed so avoidable. 6y

britt_brooke @Clare_Riley @gradcat @Cinfhen @kspenmoll It‘s so sad, but seemed so avoidable. I‘m very curious about his sister‘s book and plan to read it soon. 6y

Clare_Riley @britt_brooke I‘ll be waiting to see what you think of his sisters take on it. 6y

kspenmoll Very avoidable in my mind but wonder about his mental health? Lack of planning, new names, impulsive, grandiose thinking re:Alaska or just ignorant. My brother lives in Alaska & people there have little sympathy ( according to him) as Alaska is a wild challenging place & it‘s wilderness demands preparedness. If he had a map, or knew about the seasons he might have survived. He seemed to think it was heroic to survive on his own with a few items. (edited) 6y

britt_brooke @kspenmoll I wonder about his mental health, too. Curious if the sister‘s book sheds light on this. 6y

kspenmoll https://www.npr.org/2014/11/11/363120048/behind-the-famous-story-a-difficult-tru.... Review of his sister‘s book. (edited) 6y

britt_brooke @kspenmoll Interesting - thanks! 6y

Suet624 I‘ve always loved this picture of Chris. My brother is very similar to Chris and I‘m often surprised he‘s still alive. 6y

readinginthedark @kspenmoll Thanks for the link! I think I'll have to read that one. 6y

Cinfhen Ha🙌🏻😂so true 6y

gradcat Ha ha ha...I just listened to it yesterday, and I agree with you 100%! 6y

“This song never ceases to make me happy. If I had a top-five song list, this would be on it.” I leaned my head back against the leather seat and let #IntotheMystic pour over me.

The Legend of the Sleepers | Danilo Ki�

This is this week‘s Penguin Modern, number 11 in the set. It does fit rather well with today‘s prompt #intothemystic, but goodness me, it‘s hard going! 😒

squirrelbrain I did it @trishb! Second story was better than the first, but I don‘t think I‘ll be rushing to read more... 6y

TrishB Yay 🎉😘 6y

gradcat Your latest posts are conspiring to educate me, I must admit! 😂 6y

squirrelbrain @gradcat, educating you on which books *not* to read?! 🤣 6y

gradcat Not at all, @squirrelbrain For one, I was unaware of the story of Windrush until I read your post, and this post tells me of an author I‘ve never even heard of...so you are filling in my gaps (read: ignorance), so to speak, and I love it!! 🥰 6y

squirrelbrain @gradcat that‘s lovely of you to say so - I think we all learn from each other on a Litsy don‘t we?! 6y

gradcat Indeed. Hope you keep on educating me...it keeps me enthusiastic! 6y
