What is Reddit's opinion of Into Thin Air: A Personal Account of the Mt. Everest Disaster?

From 3.5 billion Reddit comments

“Into Thin Air” by John Krakauer is an incredibly detailed ascent on Mt. Everest; and also a first hand look at how things can go horribly wrong. It’s a gripping read.

btw I got ya covered OP. You're lookin' for Jon Krakauer.

Into Thin Air and Into the Wild. Both things that happened and both enthralling without being in the least abstruse.

Into Thin Air?

I love extended hiking and camping but, after reading Into Thin Air, definitively decided against it.

In the Heart of the Sea was excellent. I'm also a fan of similarly harrowing nonfiction. Here are a few others to check out:

<em>Into Thin Air</em> by Jon Krakauer is about a disaster on Everest. Lots of freezing to death in this one.

<em>Alive</em> by Piers Paul Read is about a plane crash in the Andes. Features both freezing to death and eating each other.

Yes. Cause hiking Everest is casual enough to have litter patrols.

Also, Krakauer's Into Thin Air, where he recounts his experiences on Mt. Everest during the tragedy of 1996.

Ultramarathon Man: Confessions of an All Night Runner by Dean Karnazes.

I read a book in high school about climbing Mount Everest. It was one of the most interesting things I've ever read.

This is the book in case anyone was wondering.
