| 2. |  | Into the Wild
from Villard
Price: $15.64
Customer Review:
Krakauer, with his experience of extreme adventures and good understanding of psychology, has done an excellent work of investigation.
Methodically, he allows the reader to better understand this tragic story, clearing alongside McCandless of foolishness and irresponsibility suspicions. He... more info | 4.0 / 5.0

from Anchor
Price: $7.99
Customer Review:
Readers seem to be rating this book higher as it ages. Informative and humorous, it keeps your attention every minute. Some of the commentary on forest conservation, etc. is discouraging....Let's hope that situation has improved since the book was written, but that's doubtful, given the... more info | 4.5 / 5.0

| 6. | ![]() | Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance
from William Morrow & Company
Customer Review:
A pseudo-intellectual classic for people who can't handle real philosophy. I met a woman years ago who thought that metaphysics was the study of "ESP and stuff." She had just entered a graduate program in philosophy. Zen and the Art would be perfect for her. For those interested in reading real... more info | 4.0 / 5.0

| 7. |  | The Oxford Project
from Welcome Books
Price: $31.50
Customer Review:
This incredibly relevatory account of the Americans of Oxford, Iowa, reminds me of Edgar Lee Masters' "Spoon River Anthology". The pared-down text reads like poetry, intensely meaningful. The simple and stark pictures, both portraits and landscapes of the town and surrounding countryside, will grip... more info | 5.0 / 5.0

Customer Review:
I read this book right before a trip to Australia, finished on the first leg of the flight. The whole time traveling around the country (great place by the way), I found myself seeing and hearing things right off the pages. My wife got so tired of listening to my chuckle and me trying to explain... more info | 4.5 / 5.0
