For the month of April, Jo's Book Nook, our non-Harry Potter book club, is reading Into the Wild by Jon Krakauer. The book is a biographical work about Chris McCandless, a young man who in 1992 set off to explore Alaska and whose emaciated body was found four months later. What led him to abandon his family, friends, possessions and civilisation for a life on the road? Take part in the discussion at this link.

Happy reading!

I adore the film, one of my favourites. Never read the book, this should be changed

I read the book my freshman year in college. The kid was crazy! Really great book though, amazing writing.
