    same thing, just published at different times :]

    I just started reading it this morning, I am dead center in the middle of it, and I can definitely say that it is by far my favorite book period. there is a section towards the middle where the author (krakauer) discusses other people who are similar to the protagonist (chris "alex" mccandless) which I found VERY interesting. I am finishing this book up as I type this and if you're looking for a good read that really pulls you in this is it.

    Well I went out last night and grabbed a copy. I didn't realize it was a movie as well, but anyway It's not too bad so far, but I'm at chapter 7 now.

    Also the book was like 9 bucks online and I have to pay like 18 dollars even after my 10% discount.

    But I'm really enjoying it so far and thanks for sharing this with us!

    Awesome I am definitely going to pick this one up. Probably go to Borders though to get it. I love reading, I read about 1 book a week during the winter give or take how much time I have at night. During the summer I am too busy, more outside stuff to do.

    One of my favorite authors is Dan Brown, and of cousre Stephen King, and his wife. I loved Angels and Demons, I have Deception point but haven't read it yet.

    FINALLY! I have finished Into the Wild.
    It wasn't too bad. I'd give it a 7 outta 10, but I guess i didnt like it cause I found it bounced around too much and sometimes I felt a little confused. But it was a touching story but it's kinda dumb sometimes cause Chris just wasn't prepared.
    Anway it was a good read... now I need something else! :)
