I recently moved to a new town and decided to join a book group. This was their pick for January. It‘s interesting but very graphic definitely not a book I would‘ve picked up on my own but sometimes that‘s the best part of a book club is reading a book out of your comfort zone #JanuaryBookClub#Yellowstone

Hunter: A Novel | James Byron Huggins
Mehso-so

It‘s a book of it‘s time, that‘s for sure. If you can handle some of the less flattering language, you might end up enjoying this book. I found the book to be okay. The monster was hard to really picture, but interesting to say the least. Ghost is the best character in the book hands down the best good boy. I‘d say give this book a chance if you‘re bored and want to turn your brain off.

Into the Wild | Jon Krakauer

In this novel, Chris Johnson McCandless goes on an amazing journey throughout North America, eventually leading to his death in 1992. This book is a true nonfiction story that has touched the hearts of many and inspired many to go out and enjoy the vast places we live in. Chris started his journey in 1990, first heading west to Mexico.

connor.duell In Mexico, Chris faced the struggles of the unforgiving desert. After almost dying in a sandstorm Chris steered his attention back to America. Since Chris had burned all his money at the start of the trip he was as homeless as he could get. Chris came back North in hopes of finding a job to get some money for Alaska. This was the point where Chris met Wayne Westerberg. Wayne immediately took a liking to Alex and said he would give him a job. 2w
connor.duell For little over a month, Chris worked hard long days in the sun at the farm in Carthage, South Dakota. Wayne said Chris was one of the hardest-working people he ever had at the farm. After Wayne gets arrested for selling television antennas Chris decides to start back on his journey to Alaska. Walking through the day and hitchhiking as much as possible Chris finally had made some progress in his journey. It was Arizona where Chris met Ronald Franz 2w
connor.duell Chris spent some days living with the lonely man and told 80-year-old Ronald to go take a vacation and live out his days traveling. From this point, Chris made his journey to the west coast through British Columbia to Alaska where he met his death in April 1992. After two moose hunters discovered Chris's body only two days after his death they also found Chris's notebook. This notebook documented his whole journey. The main quote that was found is 2w
connor.duell “Happiness is only real when shared.“ This quote has inspired many today including myself. If true stories of mountaineering and living on the land inspire I would give this book a read. Books like White Fang and Call of the Wild are very similar to “Into the Wild“. The reason I chose an eagle to symbolize the book is because of freedom. We are all lucky enough to have the opportunity to live in a place where we have full freedom. Fredom to go on 2w
connor.duell an adventure and spend time with friends traveling the world. The theme of this book is individual versus society, nature, and survival. All of which create a suspenseful read. The movie is also incredible to watch. I would suggest reading the book first and then watching the movie since the book has some extra information which is good entail. 2w

The book “Into The Wild” by Jon Krakauer tells a true story of a young man‘s journey into the Alaskan Wilderness. The true story will leave you on your toes, wanting to know the next turn in the journey. Christopher Johnson McCandless came from a wealthy family. Authors such as Jack London and books like “Call of the Wild” amazed Chris. At the young age of twenty one Chris decided to head west in his little yellow Datsun car. After abandoning the

connor.duell car he started hitchhiking North to Alaska. Chris had given $25,000 in savings to charity, leaving most of his possessions, burned all the cash in his wallet, and gave himself a new identity. The compelling and tragic story was written in a 3rd person objective point of view with some journal entries written by Chris in 3rd person omniscient perspective. I would symbolize this story as a sun. This is because with the rise and fall of the sun 1mo
connor.duell just as Chris had highs and lows in his journey so far. If you like books that showcase survival and adventure such as “The Hatchet” this book is for you. If you like this book, another one you should read is “Into Thin Air” by Jon Krakauer. 1mo

I know again this is just a novel, I'm not very good at getting books from a series that are really good. But the November book The River was just so good that I plan to read more from this author. Does that count? #SeriesChallenge @maich

Ken Smith chronicles his 40 years living off the grid first in Canada&Alaska then in Scotland where he worked as a gillie&built his own wood cabin on his employer‘s land.Will Millard wrote the memoir but it‘s based on Ken‘s diary&conversations with Ken,often excerpts of the diary are interspersed.Millard deftly captures Ken‘s voice.He comes across as a man of the highest integrity,kind&brave&most of all with a deep love of the wild&wildlife.

Anna40 Ken is a man I‘d love to drink a pint with or one of his cups of tea (he‘ll give you instructions on how to make the best brew if you read the book ;) ). I‘ll miss reading about him and “hearing” his voice. Highly recommend 2mo
