Christ only seeing this topic now.


I hate fiction - Anyone feel the same??

Have over 50 books on Everest - and if anyone wants to read something on everest try -

Into Thin Air by Jon KraKauer (he was left for dead at the summit and walked into camp 2 days laters)

The Climb - Anatoli Bourkeev - excellent read about the 1996 tradegy on Everest

Total High - The Everest Challenge - Grania WIllis, an Irish Woman with little climbing experience and numerious unfortunate circumstances during her life climbs the North Ridge


Also just finshed Alastair Campbell's Diaries - Took me ages to finish (I usually fly through books but Because you can pick it up easily and there is no real story it was easy to let sit, So cann't say I was engrossed by it) but was a good read and enjoyed.

Another one I just started and finished was The Sound of Laughter by Peter Kay - Very easy read, very funny and a great insight in The Irish Comedian
