My pleasure, Debbie. Thank you for commenting and letting me know you’re here and you’re finding the content useful. I hope you haven’t minded my occasional commentary and live reactions as we go through this book! I appreciate the encouragement. I will continue to read and I got a handful of other books for you to check as out as well on the channel after this one! It’s for helping people like you that I’ve kept at this. Enjoy the rest of Jon Krakauer’s amazing storytelling here and keep in touch! 😇
@@NickSalvatoriello The occasional commentary it's kind of like having a book club... Where I'm thinking things almost at the same time you're saying things and sometimes I'm like "yeah, exactly!" So I for one do not mind the commentary I think it makes it unique and not so boring... I think it's more like you are reading with us instead of to us.
@@BeeBeeimonotfact bullseye that's exactly what I was going for. I'm glad it resonates with people like yourself and that others like you/those looking for the same thing will find this material and feel the same. Thanks so much again for sharing your thoughts!

I'm reading this book for school and I've actually used some of your ideas to help my literary group analyze the book. - Thank you!
@@everettleal8205 sorry for the delayed response but I appreciate all your feedback and I hope you and your literary group did well on the assignment! Teamwork!! 😀
You make high School reading so much easier I'm not a patient reader so hearing someone read it out loud while I do something else is amazing and helps me do so much better 🙏
Fantastic! I'm glad to hear this. I tried to offer something unique since there's already a quaity audiobook out, and I figured the comments and the voices and stuff would be additive. Thanks for letting me know. Enjoy the rest! I got more books on here too if you need. Cheers.
I’m a jr in High School and I’m reading this in AP Lang. I love listening to this while cleaning my room. Helps me get two things done at once and somehow i understand it much better than reading it on my own! I have ADD and have always struggled reading and remembering it so audio books really help me and your commentary helps me that much more. Thank you for doing this! People like me really appreciate you and your actions.
Wonderful! Sorry I meant to comment back to you days ago! I share in your ADD struggle and I’m glad my style of reading (with all my segways and live reactions) resonated with you. I hope you enjoyed the rest of the readings and please come back and check out more books I read here, if you like my style! Cheers! 😇
Awesome, Allison thanks for letting me know. This was definitely my favorite section to perform. I’m honored to be a part of your + your friend’s journey with Into the Wild! Good luck with school! 🏫
Fantastic to hear. I really appreciate you letting me know. Sure, my version was raw and amateur and I can’t keep myself from having add-like cut ins with every chapter (I’ve reigned this in more for subsequent book readings, btw), but it’s also got HEART, right? Cheers!
I am reading this for school too and these videos help me stay focused and understand the book more. There are many words in this book that are surprisingly new to me but that is good because that is my assignment, to define new words and use them in a sentence. Looking forward to the next chapters!
That is awesome to hear, Johnny K. I'm glad this book is helping to expand your vocabulary. I've found reading these books (especially aloud!) has helped me expand my comfort with and use of new words as well! Good luck on your assignment and let me know if you have any questions! Feel free to check out some of the other classic stories I've read on my channel (many of which I read during school) that you might like. Cheers!
I have to read this for school, and i would much rather listen to you read it outloud than someone on audible or another reading app. I love the little commentary’s you add in! Thank you for making these videos, keep it up!
Thanks for coming, Sophia. I’m glad to be helping you for school and double glad to hear you say you prefer my approach (and live reactions) to the standard audiobook offering! Maybe the authors/publishers will want to do a deal with me someday, who knows! Best of luck with your assignment and thanks for coming by!
i’m reading this book right now for school and your reading has been such a huge help!! being able to listen while cleaning my room or working on schoolwork has allowed me to be super productive! thanks so much for taking the time to read this :D
Reading this for school and I have never had someone narrate a book as well as you do! Your upbeat tone makes the story so much easier to read along and keeps me very intrigued. I also love your commentary. I recommended you to all my classmates! They all love reading to your videos as well. Thank you!
I sometimes find it hard to keep track of who is talking in a book when the author introduces too many people. When you read it with the different voices and tones, it really helps. Thank you so much!
Aww thanks! Coming up with the voices is one of my favorite parts. I picture the people. Sometimes they are actors I know who either played these characters in the movies made based on these stories (as I did with a couple of the voices in this story, but not all).
Hey thanks very much! Sorry for delay took a break for Thanksgiving. Appreciate you taking a moment. Hope you can get past my many stumbles and occasional sidebars. I’m reining it in for future book recordings!
This is my first time listening. It's amazing! Much better than Audible! I'm 75, and you capture my full attention and keep it! You have a new sub! Thank you!
Wow, thank you! This was absolutely my favorite recording of the whole series of the book too. Riveting stuff. I hadn’t read this book for at least 15 years before I read this live to you all. Thanks for this feedback. Glad to make the connection through literature. I’ve “performed” a few others of my favorites on the channel you might enjoy. More to come. Stay tuned!
Thanks very much! Appreciated. Glad I got some good content out to you at the right time. Best of luck on your assignment and if you need help/have a question, just let me and the community know!
Wow! These two chapters have defenitely got to be some of my favorites so far. Throughout the whole book so far, Jon Krakauer has been sort of just like a nameless narrator, whose writing and research I certainly really appreciated, but I just didn't really 'percieve' the man himself, if I'm even making sense. But now with these two chapters, I think we really get an insight into his psyche, or at least that of his younger years. How impactful, espechially his relationship with his father and the melancholy that set in when he climbed down from the Devil's Thumb. I think this really helps us understand Chris McCandless himself a whole of a lot better!
I think you nailed it. What you said is basically how I felt when reading these two chapters. It brought the whole book, the whole story into perspective. THIS is why Jon Krakauer had to tell Chris’s story. It’s like his atonement for not being able to pass his lesson onto him (and other youths like him) in time….or something. Great comment. Thanks for reading along with me and sharing your thoughts! Virtual book 📚 club! 😊
Glad you enjoy it! I’m here to help take you through the home stretch! As you could probably tell, this section/recording was my favorite of the whole book. So epic!!! Thanks for reading with me and dropping a comment. 😊
I enjoyed your reading style. What are the ways to get around or obtain the okay to read a novel outloud on youtube? I am an actor and middle school teacher in California .Thanks man.
Good question! I have no idea. I hope the author/publisher see what I’m doing as a work of fandom (which it is) and hopefully because I don’t monetize or anything, that perhaps this is considered of academic worth (or so low production value and relatively low viewership as to not justify notice) 🤣. I also as you have heard, encouraged viewers throughout to buy a copy of the book if they havent already etc. keep in touch!
I do, History Hobbit! Got started in radio during high school and DJ’d on the radio and for events and such through and after college. I always loved to do speaking, particularity Emceeing and narrating more in the background, side of the stage vs the star. I feel like I have a knack for amplifying things with my enthusiasm and such so I have leaned into that my whole career. I’ve got some videos floating around my channel of work of this kind from my day job over the years. What started me with this TH-cam project was first just wanting to do something for my kids and friends & family to enjoy but I’ve started to see it as training drills for real paid steady voice acting / narrating work. I dunno, we’ll see! Thanks for commenting and I appreciate the encouragement!

It's a little sketchy how he mentions how much he misses human affection while sleeping in the next room to that girl and then completely moves on, I hope nothing bad happened to her. Am I the only one thinking this way? Probably but I had to see
To me, I took this scene as: the lady was a friendly local. Maybe she thought John was good looking or at least friendly and both were a little lonely and just the company of another person (even just for dinner) was enough. She knew he didn’t have a place to stay and likely he was on a tight budget so she offered her floor as a charity sort of thing. I think some, let’s just say it “sexual tension” in the evening is somewhat implied by the author, but it makes sense to me that, for whatever reason (and there could be many), that he/she really just went to sleep on their own and both moved on with their lives after that. 🤷♂️

Thank you for sharing your experience. Sorry it took me this long to respond!

Those encounters and the emotional scars can weigh heavy on us. Thanks again for sharing your personal experience. I hope this book touches each reader on a personal level.

I’ve gotta say, here in 2023 John’s revelations about his father issues seem incredibly banal. I really feel for all the generations of parents and children who had to endure the cycle of deification and the shattering illusion that your parents are also people. I’m sure parents will keep messing up and wanting the best for their kids, but in the end, we just never know.

I’ve gotta say, here in 2023 John’s revelations about his father issues seem incredibly banal. I really feel for all the generations of parents and children who had to endure the cycle of deification and the shattering illusion that your parents are also people. I’m sure parents will keep messing up and wanting the best for their kids, but in the end, we just never know.
It’s good that John could use this as another facet of connection to Chris in his writing, but these dozens of chapters of diversion from Chris’ story are really starting to feel like a pacing problem. Chris has been sitting in Alaska since the end of chapter 7 hasn’t he?
Great observations here. I also felt the pace slacking here in terms of the overall story arc. But I also was just so taken in by this mini story of the author’s tucked in here. It was just so gripping. Was it starting to feel like a bit of a long diversion on top of the previous chapters about other people besides Chris? Yes, also felt that. Maybe these were needed to flesh the story out into full novel length? Either way I was satisfied with the whole of it once I got to the end, just empathizing that I also felt well off the beaten trail of Chris’s storyline by this part, but again didn’t mind it so much because John’s own story was so gripping and ultimately it helped show that Chris wasn’t alone in his feelings or actions.
