Enjoyed "Into the Wild" by Jon Krakauer

[Adsos Letter]

8. Have you read any of his other work?

I also enjoyed Into the Wild.

If you've not already done so, consider giving Into Thin Air and Under the Banner of Heaven a look.
Into Thin Air is an account of a disastrous 1991 expedition to Mt. Everest, in which Krakauer was a participant. There has been controversy over his retelling of events, and his behavior on the mountain during the storm, and the newer editions contain a fairly lengthy afterword in which he addresses most of the criticisms.

Under the Banner of Heaven details a double murder carried out by two members of a ultra-conservative offshoot of Mormonism, the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. Krakauer uses alternating chapters to recount a history of the Mormons, and the story of the offshoot and the murder.

Over Thanksgiving I read Where Men Win Glory, which is Krakauers account of Pat Tillman's life and death. I admit that I didn't find it as compelling as his other work, and I think it's because I was (admittedly) less interested in Tillman's bio than I was in the military's attempt to hide the cause of his death. Krakauer covers it, but the bio is most of the book.

Anywaaaaayyy...
