I don't read a ton of non-fiction, but one day I was doing some wikipedia surfing and I stumbled across this
page. I rushed around to find this book and devoured it. It's about a expedition to climb Mt. Everest in 1996 where a number of people got caught in a freak storm just as they were reaching the summit. A terrible tragedy makes for a very engrossing book. I have no real interest in mountaineering or climbing or whatever the proper terminology is, but the human-side of this whole mess is pretty captivating.
