“Into Thin Air” is quite simply the most interesting and exciting book I’ve ever read, and I would absolutely love to ask John a lot of questions about it. I think I read it from cover to cover in the space of 8 hours. I particularily enjoyed the mountaineering historical elements, which give this book a lot more substance than an attempt at a movie rendition ever would. This book is also a fasinating study on what drives people in the face of mortal danager and/or ultimate triumph.
