Wild is a biographical novel about a woman who finds herself at a fork in the road. Knowing she needs to make a change, she decides to take an adventure. Hiking a portion of the Pacific Crest Trail she finds she is both emptied out and yet filled up again by the end. Very inspirational!

During this trek in the wilderness she reads, of course, like we all would.

Here's the challenge!

Read Wild and each book on the burned list found at the back of wild or the alternative if one is provided. After each book include your favorite quote or passage from the book you read, just like Cheryl did at the trail registry's she signed.

Staying Found: The complete map and compass hand book by June Fleming OR Into The Wild by Jon Krakauer

*The Dream of a Common Language by Adrienne Rich

As I Lay Dying by William Faulkner

**The Complete Stories by Flannery O'Conner

A Summer Bird Cage by Margaret Drabble

Lolita by Vladimir Nabokov

Dubliners by James Joyce

Waiting for the Barbarians by J.M. Coetzee

Alternatives are given as the guide books are probably only interesting to someone wanting to hike the trail. I am interested in them just to see the pictures :) Happy reading!
