Into Thin Air was the fastest i've ever read a book. I read it so fast I straight up don't remember anything about it other than how insane i felt reading it

Second time this has been mentioned in the thread (top comment is the first).

Just bought it on eBay for £3.49 - thanks for the recommendation.

You should read Into The Wild, also by Krakauer. The guy is a great author.

I have! I've also read missoula and under the banner of heaven. He's one of my fav authors!
