In 1990, Emory graduate Chris McCandless donated his life savings and took off to wander the American West. In 1992, McCandless's remains were found in the back of a bus in the Alaskan bush. The seminal “Into the Wild,” by investigative journalist, climber, and outdoorsman Jon Krakauer attempts to uncover not *what* happened to the off-grid adventurer, but *why* McCandless took off on his own. And from the safety of cozy couch, accompanied by white wine and hot water bottles, two routine-driven girls discuss the same.
