I've not read any of these books (well I started the Chabon book but it was horrid on audio and I stopped after the second disc). I loved "Into the Wild" the movie though.
Sandy - I usually like Chabon and I wasn't a fan of that one at all.
I was really surprised to find a huge number of nonfiction survival/adventure accounts for Alaska. I guess that makes sense, I just didn't think of it.
The only one I've read is Into the Wild. This is going to be a great little series.
I have THREE UNREAD books from your list, guess I need to read at least one soon.
Jenners - That one was great! The movie was good too.
BookQuoter - I haven't read half of these yet either, but I'm getting there.
