    "High Crimes The Fate of Everest in an Age of Greed....

    Michael had a book review in the paper last week, so I had it laminated and framed and gave it to him. He was so appreciated it. He gave me his book and autographed it (the book isn't due out till Feb. 5th). I started reading it and cannot put it down!!!! I was very honored that he gave me the very first copy before it even came out in the stores. The pictures in the book are phenomenal!!!!

    I smell success in his future. I am SOOOOOO proud of both him and his wife Carolyn.

    Cassiesmom,

    I've emailed Michael to see if he'll be touring in Chicago. I'm sure if he is, I'll be house/catsitting for him.

    Logan,

    Please let me know what you think. I've been reading it before I go to bed so I'm only on Chapter 4, but it's already too hard to put down.

    Donna, my book arrived yesterday in the mail. As you already know, I am have always been fascinated, like you, with anything related to Mt. Everest, beginning with the book and IMAX file, "Into Thin Air". I started reading "High Crimes" last night. The introduction is so long that it took me a while to get through that. He writes with such detail. I'm not sure what chapter I'm in, but I am certainly not as far as you. I have some other things I must work on this afternoon before I pick it back up, but I can already tell that I'm going to like it. I have been interested in reading it since before it was published, as you know, since I followed his trip with such interest when you were keeping us posted.

    Thanks for telling us about this book. I'll let you know my editorial comments when I'm done!
