ha, I'd forgotten about that. Fair play to him for seeing the funny side.

OK so here is my current library of books-


I haven't gotten round to reading the Bear Grylls one, the Graham Hoyland one, the James Ballard one and am halfway through the John Hunt one. I also have 'Touching the Void' but have lent it to a friend. If there are any of the others here that I've read that you want to know more about let me know, also any recommendations!
Savage summit was really bad imo. Disappointing because the subject (history of women climbing k2) is very interesting. I just couldn't stand the writing.

I've read no way down, into thin air, and buried in the sky as well - what would you recommend next?

No way down is also a pretty good book about the 2008 k2 stuff. I liked buried in the sky a bit more but they were both excellent.
