The book is great; we couldn't put it down, either. <br /><br />We then read "The Climb" by Anatoli Boukreev, which tells his side of the story. If you think Krakauer was hard on himself, you'll think Boukreev is really hard on him (Krakauer)! <br /><br />But, like you, I still can't understand the drive to climb this mountain. And now parents are letting their young kids do it -- no way!Cindy Dashnawhttp://www.bohlsenpr.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8751560065520970068.post-15416126681521531602008-12-11T08:18:00.000-08:002008-12-11T08:18:00.000-08:00I read this one a while ago and really enjoyed it!...I read this one a while ago and really enjoyed it!Melissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06474584473012742915noreply@blogger.com
