Into Thin Air - Jon Krakauer

This is a personal account of a disastrous climb on Mt. Everest. Here is the summary: The author is a reporter for Outside Magazine, and one of his articles is going to be about Everest, so he decides to climb the mountain on a guided expedition. There are many critical, faulty decisions made on the trip that cost many lives. The human brain cannot fully function at these 29,000ft, which is about the altitude that planes fly. Jon (the author) barely comes out unscathed. This is 5/5 rated book!!! I would recommend this to anybody. It is mildly inappropriate.

    Cool! That seems like an awesome book for me to branch out into nonfiction, since it's definitely action-and-adventure. Great review!

    Oh great... now my TBR list is around half a page long...
