Into the Wild
from Anchor
Price: $11.16

Customer Review:

It's ok to be a dreamer. It's ok to want to 'find yourself.' It's really ok to hike and backpack. I've done it myself, but I would never, never enter a wilderness area without, at least, a topographical map. Chris McCandless' story is nothing short of tragic.
Jon Krakauer does a fine job of... more info

Under the Banner of Heaven: A Story of Violent Faith
from Anchor
Price: $10.17

Customer Review:

While not as enjoyable as Krakauer's other works, UTBOH is a compelling read. Insightful, giving the outsider a view of the FLDS church that is seldom seen and even less understood. Some of the passages are disturbing and violent. The book sometimes has a feel of anti-religious propaganda, but give... more info

Into Thin Air: A Personal Account of the Mount Everest Disaster
from Topeka Bindery
Price: $25.70

Customer Review:

I really liked this book. This book is a well-written story from Jon Krakauer. I say `story' because history is about people telling their story. The situation that occurred back in 1996 has become historical. There have been several books written and a couple of movies made to tell about the fatal... more info

Eiger Dreams: Ventures Among Men and Mountains
from Anchor
Price: $11.29

Customer Review:

I was impressed enough by INTO THIN AIR, his '97 account of the previous year's Everest climbing disaster, that picking up a used copy of EIGER DREAMS was a done deal. I didn't pay enough attention when buying it, however( at a local used bookstore) to learn that it was a compilation of... more info

Forget Me Not: A Memoir
from Mountaineers Books
Price: $16.47

Customer Review:

After Alex died I was devistated.
As a member of Alex's climbing community I have met many that knew him.
Unfortunately for me I never had the pleasure. He was a 'climbers, climber', a man that always had something to give, to a beginner or an old seasoned alpinist looking at new... more info

The Best American Essays of the Century (The Best American Series (TM))
from Houghton Mifflin
Price: $25.00

Customer Review:

This is a fantastic sampling of American memoir and reflections on race, gender, nature, literature, and other topics of broad interest. It features the century's greatest, starting with Twain, ending with Bellow. The volume is beautifully introduced by Atwan and Oates, both of whom help chip away... more info

High Exposure: An Enduring Passion for Everest and Unforgiving Places
from Simon & Schuster
Price: $10.88

Customer Review:

This is as much a book about climbing Everest as it is an autobiography about a man's inner struggles. Would be a good read for a psychology class. The author gives great attention to detail and does a good job explaining the sport of mountain climbing to the novice.
As you read about the... more info

Iceland: Land of the Sagas
from Villard
Price: $19.75

Customer Review:

A beautiful book combining stunning photography with an in-depth historical, literary, and cultural examination of Iceland. This book manages to be heavy on both text and photographs.
Recommended for those interested in Iceland, but it is not a travel guide-type book.

Customer Review:

Talk about an incredibly survival journey, this is it. These guys were very resourceful and strong and tough. But the elements start to take there toll. Imagine yourself in a handmade tiny kayak, and you're making an open water sea crossing, and then the winds pick up to hurricane force. What would... more info

Into Thin Air
from Anchor

Customer Review:

This is a poignant, compelling narrative about Chris McCandless, an intelligent, intense, and idealistic young man, who cut off all ties to his upper middle class family. He then reinvented himself as Alexander Supertramp, a drifter living out of a backpack, eking out a marginal existence as he... more info
