I am an avid reader, I read daily to keep my brain working as much as I possibly can. Among books that I have read and enjoyed immensely I include Into the Wild, which has been made into a motion picture.
Into the wild is a story of a young man from a well to
do family. Chris, as the character is called walks way from everything, to pursue his own adventures in the wilds of Alaska.
Chris McCandless gives up everything in search of his own independence and happiness.
This book is suppossedly based upon a true story.
I believe it takes place in 1994 if my memory serves ...
