Into The Wild Introduction.

The Escape of Alexander Supertramp.
Conrad J. Gagnon.
Yellows.

Into The Wild is a nonfiction book about Christopher McCandless (AKA Alexander Supertramp), a young man who is disillusioned with the materialistic, disposable society we've created, and decides to abandon it all to venture into the wilderness of North America to seek enlightenment and freedom from society. He chose to shed as many material possessions as possible. As Buddha said, "There is no fire like passion, there is no shark like hatred, there is no snare like folly, there is no torrent like greed."
