Into the wild / by Krakauer, Jon.;

In April 1992 a young man from a well-to-do family hitchhiked to Alaska and walked alone into the wilderness north of Mt. McKinley. His name was Christopher Johnson McCandless. He had given $25,000 in savings to charity, abandoned his car and most of his possessions, burned all the cash in his wallet, and invented a new life for himself. Four months later, his decomposed body was found by a moose hunter. How McCandless came to die is the unforgettable story of Into the Wild.

Out of this world / [electronic resource]. by Shalvis, Jill.;

Three weeks ago I, Rachel Bond, inherited a bed-and-breakfast. In Alaska . Just this morning I was in my warm bed in LA but now here I am, up north -- and this is, like, nosebleed north -- sorting it all out. So: PROS: 1. Bears and wolves and moose can't be any worse than LA guys. 2. You've heard of "starving artists?" I'm about to faint. So it's probably time for a change. 3. My good friend Kellan -- you'll like him, unlike me, he's cool under pressure -- suddenly has this animal sexiness I've never even seen before. CONS: 1. ALASKA. 2. The house chef can't cook, and the guide can't read a map. 3. Kellan's sudden hotness is getting very hard to ignore. 4. I just got hit by lightning. And I'm not sure if this is a pro or a con just yet, but since that lightning bolt, I can see through everything. As in completely transparent. That was before things started to get really weird . . .Electronic reproduction.
