When I looked at all the able-bodied homeless in Seattle, begging for money, it occurred to me that if one of them wanted to wander into the woods to starve to death of his own accord, I probably ought not wring my hands over many months and years. People do stupid things all the time. It's just that people like Krakauer get to inject faux romanticism into the thing to make it seem important. It's not. It's stupidity.
Krakauer's book is so bad that it even embarrasses Anti-Mormons.
