Uncle_Tricky Posted May 31, 2003 Share Posted May 31, 2003 The book that changed my life was the Anarkist's Kookbook. Of all the books that you should NOT give to a teenager, this probably ranks the highest. Â Fortunately, even felonies are expunged from one's criminal record upon turning 18.

Beck Posted May 31, 2003 Share Posted May 31, 2003 and give a kid a copy of the whole earth catalog and you'll have a hippie on your hands before you know it- Â what's a good read for climbers? Â Bone Games by Rob Schultheis " Extreme sports, shamanism, zen, and the search for trancendence" Â he talks about mountaineering parralleled to mans search of the divine... very intriguing read Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â Some of the more paranoid ilk might also suggest if one was intersted in perusing "The Anarkists Kookbook", one might be wise to pay by cash, not credit card, and not try to get it from a library... Â Also, as Uncle has done, deliberate misspelling to avoid searches... Â Just finished the second of three books by Laurie King that continue the Sherlock Holmes saga - good reading!

Dru Posted June 4, 2004 Share Posted June 4, 2004 In the logging camp I finished "Little Dorritt", speed read a John Norman "Gor" BDSM pr0n pulp from the camp library of discarded trash novels, and then started in on "Vanity Fair" by Thackeray. I am enjoying reading my way through the Victorian novelists, i think I'll read Jane Eyre next. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ireneo_Funes Posted June 4, 2004 Share Posted June 4, 2004 "Little Dorritt" is fantastic. Dickens deserves more respect than he gets nowadays. Â "Hard Times" is my all time favorite Dickens novel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johndavidjr Posted June 5, 2004 Share Posted June 5, 2004 My favorite mountaineering book is "Mountaincraft" by Geoffrey Winthrop Young. I got it on interlibrary loan. Â Historical equivalent of "Freedom of the Hills" for the Brits -- probably through the 1930s. It was published just after WWI, & listed in bibilography in early "Freedom" editions. There may have been multiple editions of "Mtcraft" but dunno. I suggested once that Mountaineers PublishingCo. put ou a facsimile edition. It's a long book, & says stuff like, one must always remember to treat guides as social inferiors, & that climbers should smoke tobacco, because it surpresses hunger & thirst, & reduces "unnecessary talking."

RobBob Posted June 17, 2004 Share Posted June 17, 2004 Go back and read the first page of this thread. I maintain that trask gave the most honest answer here. Â Logged a bunch of flying time recently, and so I had time to read Krakauer's book on the Mormons. A little long-winded, but well-documented and it pretty well lays out the Mormon story in the cold light of day. I'll bet Krakauer has gotten more grief over this book than all of the Into Thin Air criticism put together! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
