Into Thin Air: A Personal Account of the Mount Everest Disaster by Jon Krakauer

4.0

Very interesting. I'm not the type to be driven to do anything remotely close to climbing a mountain but I get the concept. Hearing the story of what happened in May of 1996 from someone who was there made the experience for me. I've read Krakauer before and like his style. Plenty of background info but not enough to make me doze off while waiting for the meat of the story.
