7 Years in Tibet

Bryce is really into his plan to go to Tibet sometime next year. He's always checked out climbing books from the library, which I usually can't stand to read. They're almost always centered around an ADHD guy who has no idea the fear he causes his loved ones to feel when he goes on another dangerous adventure.

7 Years in Tibet is a great book though. Totally recommend it. It took me a few days to read, which I think is good; it's nice to think about a few chunks of the book at a time. I had looked up the movie and was at first angry at how different the script was from the book; turns out that the movie was more real than the book. (The movie portrays the main character as, you guessed, it, narcissistic; he leave his pregnant wife for a climbing trip shortly after they marry.)
