Into the Wild | Jon Krakauer
post image
Pickpick

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 2w
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. 2w

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 4w

I am a Kelly Armstrong fan, so this book was great. A continuing series of Rockton. I thought I would show one of my paintings. This is Spirit Island on Meligne Lake in Alberta. #FoodandLit #Canada @Texreader @Catsandbooks #ReadAway24 #SeriesLove24 @DieAReader @Andrew65 @TheSpineView @GHABI4ROSES

Really liked this romance book! Daphne is a write who submits her book under a male name. It gets picked up and now she has to hire someone to be Zane. Mostly set in Canada but they do go on a book tour through the US.

November has been a huge reading slump for me! ☹️I‘ve tapped out on at least five books…some I‘ve gotten almost to the middle of before official DNF status. So, my trusty TBR Jar gave me the prompt “less than 1000 ratings on GR” and I chose this from my saved Hoopla titles. I enjoyed it! Soft pick, but still a pick and I actually finished it, which is a win. A good man‘s story of the hardships and joys of his self-appointed seclusion. 3.5⭐️
