Sending to CdnBlueRose of Arvada, CO, USA. Wish List RABCK.

Received this pleasant surprise in the mail today - thank you so much, pjlareau!!!!

From Publishers Weekly
After graduating from Emory University in Atlanta in 1992, top student and athlete Christopher McCandless abandoned his possessions, gave his entire $24,000 savings account to charity and hitchhiked to Alaska, where he went to live in the wilderness. Four months later, he turned up dead. His diary, letters and two notes found at a remote campsite tell of his desperate effort to survive, apparently stranded by an injury and slowly starving. They also reflect the posturing of a confused young man, raised in affluent Annandale, Va., who self-consciously adopted a Tolstoyan renunciation of wealth and return to nature. Krakauer, a contributing editor to Outside and Men's Journal, retraces McCandless's ill-fated antagonism toward his father, Walt, an eminent aerospace engineer. Krakauer also draws parallels to his own reckless youthful exploit in 1977 when he climbed Devils Thumb, a mountain on the Alaska-British Columbia border, partly as a symbolic act of rebellion against his autocratic father. In a moving narrative, Krakauer probes the mystery of McCandless's death, which he attributes to logistical blunders and to accidental poisoning from eating toxic seed pods.

Reserved for Marlene

Sending on to Marlene today in her last mbag - I didn't get around to reading this one, but I'm sure another copy will come my way one day - I just really wanted to get this into the mbag and on it's way before the postage rate increases. Enjoy, Marlene!

If there is one book of my wish list I really wanted to read it was this book.
So I am glad you mailed it to me.
I won this in Rosies rabck drawing. (or however you write this)

This book won't be on my shelf unread for long I guess.
Thanks!

Hi there Mikki. I can't tell you how much fun it was opening my last M-Bag and enjoying to discover all the great books in it.

I have so many great books I really want to read now I wish I had 3 pairs of eyes. (and 3 brains) :)

Knowing how much work it was for you I just want to say again. Thank you hon. xxx

Hi Mikki. I was on the verge of writing a release note when I noticed I had not posted my thougths on this book. (I did read it 2 months ago. (Good another book I forgot and can add to my books I have read in 2007) ;)

I liked it. Not as much as the other 2 books by Mr Krakauker but it was an interesting story.

RELEASE NOTES:

Just mailed this to Giz.
She ended up with this book in the Monthly YBS.
I offered it in the October YBS on Bookobsessed.

Enjoy Gizzy. O I did add something and I hope it will not effect the book. ;)
