Michelle,
I just read “Into the Wild” and I loved it, but I’ve never seen the movie. I also love Jon Krakauer’s writing. The first book of his I read was in “Into Thin Air”. I’ll have to get this one….

Really fabulous; I’m definitely going to seek out more of Krakauer’s books now.

So sad. It’s just more proof that these wars are totally senseless.

Indeed.

Definitely adding this to my Kindle queue. What a loss.

Highly highly recommended.

I’m so sad to read this. My heart goes out to his family to him.
I just heard on the news this morning how Canada is going to start slowly pulling out of Afghanistan, the sooner the better.

It’s such a mess over there

I want to read this book. Jon is an amazing writer (his book Under The Banner Of Heaven is a must read).

I don’t see a light at the end of this tunnel. Iraq and Afghanistan are a disaster. Remember how GBW and Co. mocked the French and our other ALLIES for voicing concern about invading Iraq?

Thousands of lives and billions of dollars later what have we accomplished?

Completely with you. And all that we’ve accomplished is strengthening hatred of Americans. Mah. I haven’t read anything else by Krakauer yet, but I did see Into the Wild–would love to read that as well.

Such a sad story. Unfortunately he is just one of many wasted lives.

Exactly Gil. If Tillman was going to be a symbol for anything, it should have been for how ill-advised (and immoral) these wars are. Not surprising, still disgusting. From his journals and conversations with his friends and family, it seemed Tillman was ready to come home from the war and become an anti-war advocate….
