Yes, hiking through Alaska. Yes, gorgeous. But please, bring a map and a cellphone. And stay away from the purple plants.
Oh, and Hal Holbrook, you broke my heart, you dear old man... *sniff*
. . . each day mankind and the claims of mankind slipped farther from him. Deep in the forest a call was sounding, and as often as he heard this call, mysteriously thrilling and luring, he felt compelled to turn his back upon the fire and the beaten earth around it, and to plunge into the forest, and on and on, he knew not where or why; nor did he wonder where or why, the call sounding imperiously, deep in the forest.
- Jack London

I read "Into the Wild" last year when I heard about the movie release. It was very moving -- a one-man against the unknown sort of romantic idealism.
Yet for some reason there is still no news of the film coming to Singapore.
You consuming the book or the film?
The film. We saw it on DVD last night with some friends. I really liked it- and the Eddie Vedder soundtrack- and we also borrowed the book. Jude's reading it now and so it's lying on top of "My Mistress's Sparrow" next to the bed :)...
