I'll add those to my list! No Shortcuts to the Top was what started my obsession. I currently have The Climb and High Exposure out from the library, and am currently reading The Lost Explorer by Conrad Anker. I watched Touching the Void last week, and I'd like to read the book! Have you watched Meru? I watched it a few weeks ago and thought it was so good!</p> <p>I clearly also have a problem :P Perhaps I find it so fascinating because it's something I will NEVER EVER do but so wish that I could!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-you-reading-16/page/2#post-2490819 Thu, 10 Mar 2016 16:34:07 +0000 erinbaderin 2490819@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MediaNaranja: I just realized I never did this! Sorry about the delay! Here's what I've got on my shelf:</p> <p>Everest Exposed by George Band<br /> Eiger Dreams by Jon Krakauer<br /> High Exposure by David Brashears<br /> The Other Side of Everest by Matt Dickinson (he was climbing the North Face during the 1996 storm)<br /> Dead Lucky by Lincoln Hall<br /> Dark Summit by Rick Heil<br /> High Crimes by Michael Kodas<br /> Into Thin Air by Jon Krakauer<br /> High Adventure by Edmund Hilary<br /> Touching My Father's Soul by Jamling Norgay<br /> Touching the Void by Joe Simpson<br /> Forever on the Mountain by James Tabor<br /> No Shortcut to the Top by Ed Viesturs<br /> The Boys of Everest by Clint Willis<br /> The Climb by Anatoli Boukreev</p> <p>I told you I had a problem! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-you-reading-16/page/2#post-2484243 Fri, 04 Mar 2016 10:52:33 +0000 MediaNaranja 2484243@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@erinbaderin: I haven't read that one, I'll have to see if my library has it! And yes, I'd love a list of other good titles to check out!! I'm glad I'm not the only weirdo that's really into the topic :P </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-you-reading-16/page/2#post-2484238 Fri, 04 Mar 2016 10:42:07 +0000 erinbaderin 2484238@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MediaNaranja: I own SO MANY mountaineering books, I totally went through this. If you're interested when I get home I'll take a look at my shelf and see what else is really good (have you read The Climb, Anatoli Boukreev's version of the events of Into Thin Air?) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-you-reading-16/page/2#post-2484220 Fri, 04 Mar 2016 10:24:20 +0000 Alba4 2484220@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@edelweiss: I also like Daughter of Fortune and Ines of my Soul. Tried to read zorro, but wasn't into it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-you-reading-16/page/2#post-2484168 Fri, 04 Mar 2016 09:36:35 +0000 rattles 2484168@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@edelweiss: I found it slower than his other books, but I did enjoy it. I was more aware of it being nonfiction and obviously knew the outcome, so some of the set up and character introduction felt lengthy. I'm also not sure what President Wilson's seemingly irrelevant love story was doing in the book. Once the ship had set sail though, it was compelling and quick moving. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-you-reading-16/page/2#post-2484165 Fri, 04 Mar 2016 09:34:11 +0000 hellobeeboston 2484165@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Adira: OMG, I knew there was something up with Mustang!

I have no idea what to read next because I'm still hung up on Elisa! Lol. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-you-reading-16#post-2484116 Fri, 04 Mar 2016 08:56:12 +0000 edelweiss 2484116@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@rattles: how was the lusitania book? i was thinking of reading it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-you-reading-16#post-2484115 Fri, 04 Mar 2016 08:55:42 +0000 edelweiss 2484115@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@autumn865: i really liked the red tent! have you read anything else by her?<br /> @Alba4: yes, i think it is! i like her writing style and her characters. do you have any favorites of hers? i've only read a few (house of spirits and eva luna). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-you-reading-16#post-2484086 Fri, 04 Mar 2016 08:32:28 +0000 Adira 2484086@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@hellobeeboston: Eeeeh!!

I feel like I already like the first book better than all of the hunger games books </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-you-reading-16#post-2484036 Fri, 04 Mar 2016 07:09:57 +0000 Adira 2484036@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@hellobeeboston: Yes!! It reminded me very much of The Hunger Games, but overall, I liked the Red Rising series better, if you can believe that!! Enjoy! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-you-reading-16#post-2484027 Fri, 04 Mar 2016 06:37:40 +0000 BananaPancakes 2484027@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@hellobeeboston: Ooh, good to know. I've been dragging it out because the Worlds Fair part of the story has become a little tedious. I love history, so I was surprised I got annoyed by it, but I do want to know how it ends, so I'll try to get it done this weekend. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-you-reading-16#post-2483995 Fri, 04 Mar 2016 01:39:54 +0000 jaguar 2483995@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Out of the Ice - a new thriller set in Antarctica, I think it's from an Aussie author? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-you-reading-16#post-2483994 Fri, 04 Mar 2016 01:18:19 +0000 sera_87 2483994@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Just finished guns germs and steel. Interesting but not really my style. </p> <p>And the little princess for the book riot read harder challenge (challenge 5: read a middle grade book). </p> <p>Best book I've read this year is church of marvels and the Cathill witches trilogy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-you-reading-16#post-2483980 Fri, 04 Mar 2016 00:02:07 +0000 Mrs.KMM 2483980@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I just finished "The Unspoken" (so good)!</p> <p>Now I'm reading "A Head Full of Ghosts". </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-you-reading-16#post-2483838 Thu, 03 Mar 2016 20:38:02 +0000 SweetiePie 2483838@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@delight: Yes! I loved Me Before You so much. It was on my list for a while and then I heard the movie is coming out this summer so I knew I had to read it before it got spoiled for me. And at the end of the kindle book it had a preview for After You. I had to wait a few days to start it because I was too emotional from finishing the first one.<br /> And I haven't read What Alice Forgot yet but it's on my Kindle wish list! I'll read it next :-) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-you-reading-16#post-2483802 Thu, 03 Mar 2016 20:01:11 +0000 delight 2483802@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@SweetiePie: I didn't realize "Me Before You" had a sequel! I'm going to read it next! Did you read What Alice Forgot? It's my favourite Lianne Moriarty book.</p> <p>I'm reading Lori Lansens' "The Mountain Story." Her book "The Girls" is one of my all time favs. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-you-reading-16#post-2483788 Thu, 03 Mar 2016 19:42:56 +0000 hellobeeboston 2483788@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@BananaPancakes: looooved that book!!

Love it! Almost done with the first book and can't wait to read more! Very fun book. Like Lord of the Flies meets Hunger Games in space. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-you-reading-16#post-2483778 Thu, 03 Mar 2016 19:32:19 +0000 autumn865 2483778@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm currently reading a book called The Red Tent by Anita Diamant. It's about a very little known bible charactor Dinah that the author expands and fills in the blanks about her life. So the story is fiction but interweaves in the bible characters surrounding this Dinah. I'm not super religious and I'm not super aware of the more bigger bible characters in the book but it's an inferesting concept to take the perspective of a female and imagine what her life was like at the time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-you-reading-16#post-2483746 Thu, 03 Mar 2016 18:58:37 +0000 stiletto_mom 2483746@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sandy: The movies stays pretty true to the book which I liked. The book has more details that the movie missed out on. Definitely a good read. I borrowed my copy from the library, but I wouldn't mind buying it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-you-reading-16#post-2483734 Thu, 03 Mar 2016 18:48:50 +0000 sandy 2483734@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@stiletto_mom: such a great movie!!!

It was a great book and a great movie. </p>
