“Reading gives us someplace to go when we have to stay where we are.” Mason Cooley

Overall my experience in book clubs has been fine, while I feel that the groups could have worked better when it comes to everyone reading and participating in the discussions, the books clubs have been a nice way to get other viewpoints on the stories we are reading.

“If you don't like to read, you haven't found the right book.”
J.K Rowling

My experience in book clubs is most people don’t read the book, and there isn’t that much to talk about.

The Wild Truth has been an extremely fun book to read. The information that we get from it, its connection to Into the Wild, and the personal messages that can be taken from it make this book a great read for anyone who enjoyed Into the Wild. I think that reading this book and then rereading Into the Wild will reveal previously overlooked elements of it that allow you to have a deeper appreciation for both books, and the people within them. There were many unexpected elements of The Wild Truth, things that were never mentioned in Into the Wild, that truly make this book great on its own.

The introduction to this book was very important and well written. Carine, does a great job introducing this book to the reader and we all understood what we were getting after the introduction. The family life of the McCandless family was very difficult and complicated and we get to see a few glances of why. Overall, great introduction to the book.

I like book club because it forces me to read books that are out of my comfort zone and I wouldn’t usually read, but end up liking them. This quote shows that each book you read is like a different life because it discusses a story, someone else’s story, or a series of facts which you get to experience while reading.

“The more that you read, the more things you will know. The more that you learn, the more places you’ll go.” -Dr. Seuss

This quote is important to me because it shows the different opportunities that come from reading. When we read, we gain so much knowledge which allows for us to grow as people. With this being said, when we grow, we will be able to do so much more with our lives. My experience with book clubs is typically very beneficial because I can collaborate with others on the book we read. Overall, this quote is really touching and inspires me to read more and more everyday.

We didn’t have a meeting because we were all absent on this day. Overall, the journals that we posted looked very good and were a great way to start off the future book club meetings.

Journal for Jack Rutkowski from Sean Rodgers

It was Jacks decision to read this book and I feel that it would be almost impossible to capture his feeling about this book, however I will try. Jack originally chose this book because it was the follow up to Into the Wild, however I think he found something better from this book. The messages and themes from the book touched not only Jack, but all of us in the group. I knew that Jack had been doing a deep analysis, one that looked for hidden parallels between the 2 books, trying to find things that, while not directly mentioned, connected Chris’s actions in the 2 stories. This analysis helped all of us have a deeper connection to the book and it purpose and allowed us to genuinely enjoy this book.
