1.		Into the Wild from Anchor Price: $11.16 Customer Review: and for me - Jon Krakauer's writing is the kind of stuff that makes for late nights and tired workdays. I can't pay him a higher compliment. This one was a bit different than his other efforts in that Krakuer plays more the role of detective/sociologist rather than an an insightful expedition... more info	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information Buy from: United Kingdom

2.		Under the Banner of Heaven: A Story of Violent Faith from Anchor Price: $10.17 Customer Review: i've read a couple of krakauer's books (into thin air, into the wild), and have mostly loved them. i say "mostly", because, while i think he's a great writer and storyteller, and meticulous in his research, there's occasionally a hint of arrogance or smugness that i don't find appealing. that... more info	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information Buy from: United Kingdom

3.		Into Thin Air: A Personal Account of the Mt. Everest Disaster from Anchor Price: $10.17 Customer Review: Into Thin Air is a true account of a fatal expedition to the summit of Mount Everest in 1996.

4.		Eiger Dreams: Ventures Among Men and Mountains from Anchor Price: $11.16 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	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information Buy from: United Kingdom

5.		Forget Me Not: A Memoir from Mountaineers Books Price: $16.47 Customer Review: My husband doesn't typically cry. He's not opposed to emoting and doesn't think real men don't cry. He just doesn't find much to cry about, so when he tried to read a passage aloud to me from Forget Me Not, but couldn't make it through for the emotion clogging his throat, he got my attention.... more info	Customer Rating: 5.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information Buy from: United Kingdom

6.		High Exposure: An Enduring Passion for Everest and Unforgiving Places from Simon & Schuster Price: $10.88 Customer Review: This book is organized such that each chapter is devoted to a single milestone of Breashears' life. In each case he gives a general overview of that milestone, along with a few descriptive details of particular situations. But mostly, it is an OVERVIEW of the experiences that made him the man that... more info	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information Buy from: United Kingdom

These guys were very resourceful and strong and tough. But the elements start to take there toll.

8.		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.

9.		Into the Wild from Pan Books Customer Review: This is an amazing story that touches on every emotion contained within us all! I'm hard pressed to understand why this is only the second review but this is a story that will go down as one of the most powerful, enlightening, and heart wrenching ever told! Sean Penn has from what I have seen... more info	Customer Rating: 5.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information Buy from: United Kingdom

10.	[no image]	Into the Wild from Villard Books Customer Review: When I skimmed over my summer reading list for school this year, I sighed. All of the titles seemed so boring, but I knew that just with covers, one shouldn't judge a book by it's name. So I highlighted a few random novels on the list and searched them up on Google, and what the summary I found for... more info	Customer Rating: 5.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information Buy from: United Kingdom
