Chris McCandless Reading List
July 13, 2015
Into The Wild gives a beautiful insight in to the life of Chris McCandless. I remember saying almost the same thing when I wrote a review of Into The Wild by Jon Krakauer. I recently read a book recommended by a fellow blogger at the time when I wrote the book, which gives more insight into the life of Chris McCandless, The Wild Truth: The Untold Story of Sibling Survival by Carine McCandless. This book shows another view of Chris’ life. The relationship he had with his parents, his childhood, his relationship with sister and other siblings.
At the end of the book I found an image shared by Carine which consisted of the favourite books of Chris McCandless. So I thought, why not share those books here.
Walden and Civil Disobedience by Henry David Thoreau
Doctor Zhivago by Boris Pasternak
Zen & The Art of Motorcycle Maintenance by Robert Pirsig
The Machineries of Joy by Ray Bradbury
The Terminal Man by Michael Crichton
Education of a Wandering Man by Louis L’Amour
The Death of Ivan Ilych by Leo Tolstoy
I was looking for the book written by his sister the other day and couldn’t remember what it was called. Thank you! 🙂
You’re welcome, do tell me if you read the book.
Have read all but the Zen book about the art of motorcycle maintenance. May have to look into getting that book!
Jeanette Hall
Me too, I have the book lying on my shelf for years but I haven’t thought about reading it yet.
Reblogged this on reading hungry.
Reblogged this on Shapeshifters: Living With Dissociation.
Will read the Ray Bradbury!
I watched the movie and I’ve been wanting to read the book ever since. Once I do, these books that was on Chris McCandles’s List will definitely make their way onto mine.
I hope you enjoy reading them and I think you will! 🙂
