“The Wild Truth” tops the list for me–I loved Jon Krakauer’s “Into the Wild” and I think “The Wild Truth” would add another layer of perspective to the story of Chris McCandless. (I’m also super-excited about “Still Alice” and “Yes, Please” so that stack would have a very nice home in my personal library.)

I love David Shannon and Bugs in My Hair looks like a super cute way to de-gross the inevitable meeting with lice when you have kids! The Wild Truth caught my interest as well and I liked the idea of the story of Still Alice but the movie was too emotionally draining for me so I think the book might be more manageable. I love your website and always look forward to your posts!

Hi Mavis,
I am interested in the book The Wild Truth because of the things I have been hearing about it. Gripping was the common word I’d hear. Plus it talks about the author’s life or part of it (her relationship with her brother). Lastly, anything that will get me away from the computer and will make me curl up and not think of how much I miss my family back home.

The Wild Truth, I recently read Into the Wild and found it to be insightful and somewhat sad and would be interested to read what Carrie has to say. On a personal note Into the Wild was somewhat a horrible book for me as I could see one of my sons thinking he could do this, but I couldn’t stop reading Chris story.
