Ok, so we're reading Into Thin Air by the man himself, Jon Krakauer.
I think we'll just use this space for the first few chapters to write down our ideas and gather thoughts for when we do a discussion. Let me know if you guys think we should try to find a way to host a forum here on my site for discussing. Maybe.

Before I even write anything, I want to lay down some of the stuff I'm looking for while reading this.
As some background, I just finished a book called The Climb by Anatoli Boukreev and G. Weston DeWalt. It is a book about the same climbing season that Krakauer is writing about in Into Thin Air, from the perspective of 2 separate expeditions, Boukreev is a guide for the "Mountain Madness" expedition and Krakauer is just a journalist-client on the Adventure Consultants expedition.
Boukreev actually saved a bunch of people later in the story (I won't say more yet) from both his expedition and from others. Jon Krakauer, however, claims that Boukreev was being irresponsible in some of his actions that day and blames him for some incidents, so I want to see exactly what Krakauer has to say.
OK, that out of the way, let's read.
