I’m reading Into the Wild and it’s a fascinating story. I can relate to Chris’ frustration with the materialistic lifestyle most people choose to follow and his thirst for new experiences via traveling, but I think it’s safe to say my parents would not be happy if I told them “I think I’m going to disappear for awhile”, which is what Christopher McCandless told his parents before hitting the road for good and ultimately ending up starving to death in Alaska. I’m halfway done with the book now, so perhaps I’ll write another post about it when I finish.
