Just finished "Three Weeks With My Brother" by Nicholas Sparks
It's a true story about Nicholas Sparks' 3 week trip around the world with his brother, intertwined with some of the ordeals they have lived through.
Very good book.

Alone in the Wilderness ... :D

As if none of us have ever come back with a cool, quasi-epic story instead of being victim to tragic rockfall, a fatal stumble, a heart attack, an embolism, a lightning strike, a bear attack, collapsing cornice, some psycho with an axe, a falling tree, carbon monoxide, even falling asleep at the wheel getting to a mountain. If you can't accept the fact that sometimes "s**t happens", then you live with the illusion that your epic genius and profound wilderness intelligence has put you in total and complete control of yourself, your partners, and the mountain. How mystified you'll be when "s**t happens" to you! - FM

"Lamb" by Christopher Moore. Wanted to read this for years and saw a copy at the Thrifty Store.
Mountains cast spells on me - Why, because of the way Earth-heaps lie, should I be Chocked by joy mysteriously; stilled or drunken-gay? Why should a brown hill trail Tug at my feet to go? Why should a boggy swale Tune my heart to a nameless tale Mountain marshes know?

Re: What are you reading?
"Blind Descent: The Quest To Discover The Deepest Place on Earth" by James Tabor. Very good book about two teams of researchers who set out to discover the deepest cave on earth. The author described it as "Imagine Mt. Everest in reverse." Really good read.

Maybe I'll get it back to him after having it on loan for something like 2 years now!
