Blind Descent: The Quest to Discover the Deepest Place on Earth
by: James M. Tabor
Author James Tabor has done a thorough job of researching his subject, but the subject itself may have deep-sixed his attempt at writing the next Into Thin Air: A Personal Account of the Mt. Everest Disaster. Perhaps it's the fact that almost everybody, at one point or another in their lives, has climbed a tree or a hill and experienced the satisfaction of reaching the top. That experience is in some small way comparable to the lure of climbing the highest mountain in the world. Most of us have also been to the ocean and stood awed by its sheer size, or peered through the thick glass at the local aquarium, fascinated by the strange creatures which are swimming on the other side.

K2: Life and Death on the World's Most Dangerous Mountain
by: David Roberts, Ed Viesturs
America's first mountaineer to climb the 14 8000m peaks, Viesturs describes the major events on K2 along with his personal views. Ed examines "the questions of risk, ambition, loyalty to one's teammates, self-sacrifice, and the price of glory", sharing his direct honest opinions, like: "jerk", "I just don't buy it", "why didn't he get out and do something", and "that directive strikes me as questionable at best". I myself firmly believe in Ed's approach - getting into great physical shape with a thoroughness and intensity of preparation and planning, being a clock watcher and on time, non confrontational, carrying your own weight, and being patient.
