Into the Wild - Jon Krakauer.
It's not what I thought it would be, which is a good thing. I'm a non-fiction nut and this is a solid bit of piecing the MC's life together. The three or four filler chapters aren't badly written, they just don't need to be in this book.
ETA: Oh, and Roots is bogging down again, hence the detour, and shooting for 30K words on the novel this month, so this will probably be it for a while!
