Alaska tends to be a bit of a kook-magnet.  How about that guy who forgot to make plans to fly out of the bush?  That's kind of an important detail to omit, don't you think?

isaac's storm or something like that, right?  i enjoyed that one alot.  the author's most recent one is also supposed to be very good, the devil in the white city. . it's about the 1893 world's fair in chicago.

A pretty great book.  I enjoyed it more than Into Thin Air, but only because of the mystery element in Krakuer's pieceing together of the kids death.  Pretty heavy stuff.
 
 I currently am bookless.  Unless you count the copy of Lucky magazine currently residing in my girlfriend's bathroom.

Can't say I ever stop reading Baseball Prospectus at all during the season, but I am reading this as well:
