IRB Intro Post #1

This marking period, I will be reading Into Thin Air by Jon Krakauer. I found this book just from the bookshelf in our classroom. Just scanning for any interesting books, I recognized the author of Into The Wild, which I read a few years ago. Since I enjoyed reading Into The Wild, I am expecting a good read out of this one, too. Besides it being the tallest mountain in the world, I don't know much about Mt. Everest and its history/origin. I hope to learn more about it and the adventures of those who took on the challenge.
