IRD Intro #3 - "Into The Wild" by Jon Krakauer

"Into The Wild" is written by Jon Krakauer,  and details the experience of Christopher McCandless travelling across North America and his life spent in the Alaskan wilderness in the early 1990's. The reason this book caught my eye is because Krakauer interprets McCandless' self-disciplinary actions as influenced by the writings of Henry David Thoreau, which I have some background knowledge on. Hopefully, I can make connections between my knowledge outside the book and the book itself.
