The more educated I become, 
the more I worry society will pull me in.  
Let me stay in the wilderness - 
I am safe there.

    I can't help thinking of Krakauer 's "Into the Wild."

    I think you would really enjoy this book, if you have not read it already. The movie is not quite as good as the book but is still well worth watching.

    Best,

    Funny you mention it. One of my favorite books and movies. I agree, the book is by far better. I like most of Krakauers books.

    What about Joe Simpson? "Touching the Void" is absolutely stunning (both the movie and the book), and some of the short stories ("The Beckoning Silence") are also quite good.

    John I can't say this wasn't partly inspired by my recent Thoreau readings.
