Reading List

Into the Wild- by Jon Krakauer--- The story of Chris McCandless, who graduated from college, donated his savings account and headed west in his car to live the life and adventure he'd always imagined. Sean Penn just made this book into a movie and I was captured by the story, so I read the book prior to seeing the movie. The book is based on McCandless's journals and postcards from the trip. The book highlights the spirit of living the life you've imagined, not the one that others have imagined for you. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Into_the_Wild




The Road- Cormac McCarthy-- This is possibly the best book that I've ever read (not a light statement). This story shows a very tender relationship between a father and a son. I can't say much more than this is a book that is worth the time to read.
