Do you know anyone who has climbed Mt. Everest AND recorded their experience in a gripping book? In his memoir Into Thin Air, Jon Krakauer takes us on a terrifying journey to the top of the world's highest mountain. If you can get through the slow beginning, Krakauer will take you on an ill-fated adventure (Alvaro & friends) ...
Thanks for your post, Alvaro and crew! I loved this book, but then again I love ALL survival non-fiction. You should also check out Krakauer's "Into the Wild" (again with the italicizing) and "In the Heart of the Sea: The Tragedy of the Whaleship Essex." Stories that grab you by the throat and won't put you down. Well-written and entertaining.
