Have you ever read this book? I read it a couple years ago. I admired McCandless' independence, but by the end of the book I thought he was a naive idiot.

I read this and I cannot for the life of me understand the attraction of the site where he dies, but it comes off as almost a pilgrimage for some.

The article is very interesting. I have to wonder why I've never heard of this before...

I'm familiar with the story, never saw the movie, but always meant to read the book!

I devoured Hemingway and London as a kid, and still love books like this.

Thank for reminding me! :cheers:
