I've been trying to read more over the past few years and have failed dismally, so apparently I needed an interest to be kindled first! lol<br /><br />Anne Simonot: I don't have Forever on the Mountain yet to read, though I have heard of it. I'll look for it harder now that I have your recommendation for it :-) Thank you! I hope you enjoy the K2 book. I have a few more from the library that I am reading now. I'm happy to hear you enjoy mountaineering books also.<br />Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09095246748581382752noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6145452263098688113.post-12147467297223453492014-02-14T10:26:31.771-05:002014-02-14T10:26:31.771-05:00I too love mountaineering books.

I think I'll be hunting down a copy of that K2 book.Anne Simonothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01904349013936544659noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6145452263098688113.post-79231828388900985692014-02-14T06:13:49.039-05:002014-02-14T06:13:49.039-05:00Oh right, I didn't know Jim Curran was a big n...Oh right, I didn't know Jim Curran was a big name in mountaineering. Well there you go. :-) I just saw it in the library while I was wandering (the same wander where I spotted What Makes this Book so Great... seems I should wander round the library a bit more, lol) and nabbed it for one of my random grabs as I'm not averse to a mountaineering book either.<br /><br />I like the idea of reading about things you would probably never do yourself. Like climbing mountains or cycling around the world. Well done on your non-fic total! I'm on my fourth so need to up my game a bit there if I want to beat last years total.<br />Cathhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06371069000185280668noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6145452263098688113.post-37693839148046660932014-02-13T23:33:12.541-05:002014-02-13T23:33:12.541-05:00Kailana: You have a big storm heading your way! ...Kailana: You have a big storm heading your way! I was complaining to my sister that we are so cold it is pushing all the storms south, and to you. We might get a little snow tomorrow, and of course the wind and windchill. It was -19c when I left for work this morning. I need some warmer temps! Good luck tomorrow with your storm.<br /><br />Cath: Jim Curran is a big name in mountaineering! I don't have any of his books yet, but I have seen them referred to. I look forward to your review!<br /><br />It is fun to be caught up in this unexpectedly. I am so curious about it, and having fun reading the books and learning about this subject. It's fascinating. I'm also surprised - these are non-fiction, and I've already reached my total of non-fiction read all last year!

Oddly enough I too picked up a book about mountaineering in the library several days ago: Middle-aged Mountaineer by Jim Curran. Enjoy your new subject, Susan!Cathhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06371069000185280668noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6145452263098688113.post-48442725819651396782014-02-13T01:34:37.640-05:002014-02-13T01:34:37.640-05:00I am looking for signs of spring, too!
