Hiking Lady

Into the Wild is a great movie based on Jon Krakauer’s bestselling book!

It has become quite a controversial story – some people enjoy the protagonist’s independence, and his willingness to abandon social norms and live in the wild.

Others say that Christopher McCandless was irresponsible. Was Christopher McCandless a reckless young man or was he on a greater journey?

What do you think?

Have you ever thought about hiking the Appalachian Trail? I sure have!

A close hiking friend of mine insisted that I borrow her copy, and I swear I couldn’t put this book down. Obviously I am a fan of most books about hiking, but this one is truly special – Bill Bryson weaves into his humorous story loads of history and science, all while sharing the details of his adventure.
