When I first read The Dharma Bums, I immediately thought of John Krakauer's Into The Wild.
Into The Wild appeals to me as a pg-13 version of The Dharma Bums. It portrays similarities in such that with the exception of alcohol, sex, drugs, partying, poetry readings, literary and religious gatherings and zipping, it's just about a guy who wants to experience life without all of the extra stuff that comes with it. Traveling through nature, rafting, learning to just enjoy the adventure of life. McCandless does what he wants and it keeps reminds me of The Dharma Bums for some reason.
