The book ‘Into the Wild’ is based on the true story of Christopher J McCandless, a well-educated and able young man from a good family who chased after his dreams and ambitions. ‘Into the Wild’ is an international bestseller, which has been printed in fourteen languages and 173 editions.
The second book from this list, ‘The Geography of Bliss’, is a great nonfiction book about a grumpy foreign correspondent who is tired of being in war zones, and decides to go to the happiest countries in the world.
‘Treasure Island’ is an adventure novel by Scottish author, Robert Louis Stevenson, narrating a tale of “buccaneers and buried gold”. Traditionally considered a coming-of-age story, ‘Treasure Island’ is a tale noted for its atmosphere and action.
‘A Walk in the Woods’ is about Bill Bryson’s return to the United States after living in Britain for most of his adult life. In this book, he attempts to walk the full Appalachian Trail with his old friend, the overweight, alcoholic Katz, and reacquaint himself with his homeland.
Last but not least, ‘The Talisman’ is about a young boy who needs to travel across both the United States and its alternate universe counterpart in order to retrieve a magical object to save his mother. This book is like a perverse mix of Huckleberry Finn and Edgar Allen Poe, and is an awesome read for fantasy fans.
