Mountains of the Mind: A History of a Fascination by Robert Macfarlane
4.5
adventurous dark emotional informative inspiring medium-paced
I love Robert Macfarlane's writing so much, he makes me think that I too should hike up a glacier or try to climb everest even though I am absolutely never going to do either of those things. A thoroughly engrossing book, interspersing the history of mountaineering with his own experiences in the high places of the world, as he tries to understand the impulse to climb mountains even when the risks are deadly.
