Diana Gabaldons Outlander series is an addictive, fantastic, engrossing journey into 18th Century Scotland, post-war England, and modern-day Boston. I must admit that I am not a fan of romance novels, but this series has me hooked; I have read all 5 of the books and the Outlandish Companion at least..

Into the Wild |
"God, he was a smart kid..." So why did Christopher McCandless trade a bright future--a college education, material comfort, uncommon ability and charm--for death by starvation in an abandoned bus in the woods of Alaska? This is the question that Jon Krakauers book tries to answer. While it doesnt—cannot—answer the question with certainty, Into the Wild does shed considerable light along the way. Not only about McCandlesss "Alaskan odyssey," but also the forces that drive people to drop out of society and test themselves in other ways. Krakauer quotes Wallace Stegners writing on a young man who similarly disappeared in the Utah desert in the 1930s: "At 18, in a dream, he saw himself ... wandering through the romantic waste places of the world. No man with any of the.. |
