Into Thin Air by Jon Krakauer #33

About a bunch of guys who climb Everest and not everyone makes it back down alive. True story, written by a really great writer. Certainly only one of a handful of books I've read 2-3 times. He talks a little bit about why people climb mountains or jump out of airplanes...I have some of that instinct in me, to do things that are really pretty risky for no good reason other than I can, and he dives into that some which I enjoyed. It also just makes you appreciate life.
