Jon Krakauer is king! King I tell you!

Whats your fav. Jon Krakauer novel and why? Im still torn between Into the Wild and Into Thin Air.

 

Into the Wild.

My friend at the university I go to followed Chris's (the main character) path around the US last summer. And ended at the bus, which is still up there in Alaska. I'm jealous of him.

Krakauer did a really great job with that novel.

 

my dad went to highschool with that guy

 

Into the Wild, it was just amazing, I've read it a few times. But it wasn't a novel, because novels are fiction. It was a biography.

 

.

 

Great point!

Im thinkin about following his path this summer, maybe not the same way he did, but in a car. I want to photograph his journey, or possibly videostape the different places. Make a documentary out of it. Think anyone would be interested in seeing that?

 

i hitchhiked up to helena to explore denali first hand. i never did make it to the bus, and i left my micro bus at the border of washington...needles to say i still had an amazing time

 

For school my senior year (thank god for the school eof environmental studies!) we read Into the Wild and did a winter outdoor survival course. It kicked ass! I loved the booknsis and we watched it and lived in litte igloos.

 

thats good stuff maaaaaan damn i so want to live in an igloo for a coupla nights how magickal
ok now pepples now lets not forget who for chris really was king, and it's jack london mind you ah hmm, and yes krakhaur (crackwhore lol)

 

booknsis?

 

I loved both books he is such a good author, the way he takes bits and peices of peoples stroies and is able to put them into on great adventure.

I personally like into thin air better since ive always had a fasination with everest.

I was lucky in grade 11 english we read into thin air while every other class had to read crap

 

Into the wild is not a novel

 

does he have any book sthat don´t start with "into"? just curious.

 

Yes, I am reading it right now. Its called Eiger Dreams, its all shorter stories.
