I just finished "Into thin Air" and "Into the Wild" both by John Kraukner. I liked the latter of the two better. Anyone else read these?

Just finished The Colorado Kid, Stephen King's first foray into the pulp mystery genre. Dude needs to stick to horror.

Dessert Solitaire by Edward Abbey.
Very strange book, but very enjoyable.

I like them both. I read Into the Wild first, which I thought was the more insightful story. Into Thin Air was the more gripping story, and more amazing story.
I had to rent IMAX video "Everest" after reading the Into thin Air. Highly recommended, more for the extended interview with Beck then the movie itself (the movie itself had very little to do with Krauauer's expedition, although they were on the slopes at the same time).

Those of you who liked "Into Thin Air" should try Boukreev's version of the same year on the mountian.

An interesting read on Taiwan's history up to 1945. Kind of a bitter sweet history. Japan as good guy, but mostly bad guy toward their colony.
