I'm still kicking around the Mt. Everest books ("Last Climb", by David Breashears and Audrey Salkel, is a fascinating account of the early British expeditions to Everest and George Mallory's last climb.) But, in the meantime, I just finished "One Second After" by William Forstchen. Someone had posted here about this book, and I decided to download it to the Kindle, which I did a year ago. Then forgot about it, and just re-discovered it the other evening. What an eye opener! I encourage everybody to read this one. It could not be more relevant in light of current events across the globe. You won't lose a lot of time reading it, but you may lose a lot of sleep after reading it.
