    			  An exploration of philosophy and how to approach modern life taking place in the frame of a cross-country motorcycle trip taken by a father and son, this book was engaging and addictive.  The development and self-realizations of the characters are easy to relate to, and I found myself learning alot about myself.  I highly recommend this book.

    			  This book, which follows Chris McCandless, aka Alexander Supertramp from his college graduation, through his multi-year travels hitchhiking across the United States, and then to is death in Alaska.  The book offered an interesting look into this difficult to understand person.  Most people would look at his life as having been a waste and would question his motivation.  Krakauer does an excellent job humanizing him.
