Into the Wild
Written by Jon Krakauer

I love this book; it's about a young guy named Chris McCandless who didn't want to live a "conventional American life." So, he ditches his car and belongings, donates the $25,000 dollars in his college fund, and starts hitchhiking and camping around the U.S. One interesting thing about this book is that the author, Jon Krakauer, had to write this book based on information he collected after Chris' death. Krakauer also includes stories of other people who held lifestyles similar to Chris', to try and provide insight as to why a smart, young, well-to-do guy would choose to live in what many people consider an unconventional way.
