Into Thin Air

I read this and mainly felt sure of two things: 1) I never, ever, ever want to climb Mt. Everest, or really any mountain and 2) I felt very deeply sad for all of the emotional turmoil Jon Krakauer and the other members of his team felt. Since I don't really know... anything about rock climbing I felt a little bit outside of this story. I mean he explained all the climbing terminology and everything. Mainly I could not get over like, why the fuck would anyone want to put themselves through that? Whyyyyy. So whatever, I mean it was well-written and I really admired the painful honesty involved, but it's not my new favorite book or anything.
