Went to the TCU event this evening in Austin. It was cool. No ground breaking info to report, but was interesting to hear Donati, GP, and Dixon speak.
Any good books etc?
I am a third of the way on "Into Thin Air" about the Mount Everest tragedy of 1996. Very interesting so far and I'm still on the boring part. I've got the illustrated version and the pictures from the expedition really bring the story to life. The guy is a really good writer.Going to be spending a lot of time traveling this summer and would love a recommendation for a good book, preferably non-fiction but more importantly a page turner. Stuff with good stories, maybe a memoir or something like that. I predominantly read a lot of business books and wanna try something different.
Any good books about golf, Las Vegas, celebs, etc?

I had it recommended to me by someone else who said it was outstanding. I'm learning quite a bit about mountain climbing as it goes into a lot of technical detail.
Pretty much everything by Krakauer is worth reading. I highly recommend Under the Banner of Heaven. It’s a brief history about the Mormons and it’s fascinating. Into the Wild is amazing as well.I am a third of the way on "Into Thin Air" about the Mount Everest tragedy of 1996. Very interesting so far and I'm still on the boring part.

Drunk on Sports by Tim Cowlishaw is a good one about his battle with drinking. Has some great stories in there as well from when he was covering various teamsGoing to be spending a lot of time traveling this summer and would love a recommendation for a good book, preferably non-fiction but more importantly a page turner.

Yes.Better or worse than the South Park version?

It doesn’t necessarily fit your criteria but if you haven’t read 1984 in a long time you should. It is scary how accurate some of it is. Orwell was just a little too optimistic with the year he used.Going to be spending a lot of time traveling this summer and would love a recommendation for a good book, preferably non-fiction but more importantly a page turner.

If you haven't already, check out "Meru" on Netflix. Excellent documentary chronicling 3 men attempting to climb Sharks Fin on Meru Peak.I am a third of the way on "Into Thin Air" about the Mount Everest tragedy of 1996.
