Into Thin Air: A Personal Account of the Mt. Everest Disaster by Jon KrakauerMy review
rating: 4 of 5 stars
I would definitely NOT recommend reading this book 3 weeks before leaving for a trek that culminates on Mt. Everest. Although our plans only take us as far as the Tibet-side base camp, reading Krakauer's account of the catastrophic expeditions of May, 1996, has only increased my anxiety. If, on the other hand, you are not setting off for a grueling, high-altitude trek any time soon, then this gripping book is well worth a read.
