Hi Steve (UK) here. Touching the Void by Joe Simpson (non-fiction) The film is gripping, true to the story and very realistic- the book is even better. In 1985, two young climbers, Joe Simpson and Simon Yates, set out to be the first to reach the summit of the Siula Grande in the Peruvian Andes. They succeed, and the two embark on the treacherous descent down the mountain -- only to meet with disaster when Simpson breaks his leg in a fall, leaving Yates to lower him the rest of the way with ropes. When a storm threatens both their lives, Yates must decide whether to cut the rope and risk Simpson's likely death. No spoilers here...the story is only just beginning! Enjoy...

I'm enjoying the true story. Years ago, I was at Bike, Book, & Hatchet and Grant recommended In the Heart of the Sea and a book about the Galveston hurricane. And one other I just remembered The Devil in the White City. I've enjoyed reading most of these types of books, that involve adventure/danger/even death, like Into Thin Air. Would anyone care to share any other novels that you'd recommend as the darker months loom?
