I love this book so much ! The story haunted me deeply for a long time, it's one of the most unusual and powerful books I have ever read.Born Chris McCandless, he changed his name to Alexander Supertramp, a young man who left his family and friends, donated his college money , abandoned most of his ...
This was a really well-written book and I'm amazed the author was able to write it so soon after the disaster. I'm glad I finally got around to reading my father's copy from years ago.One thing that bothered me, though it is extremely minor in the grand scheme of things, I'm transgender so I feel li...
When a man kills a woman and her toddler in cold blood and claims god told him to do it, your first reaction is he must be crazy. Because only a crazy person would do that, right?
