Mark the calendar for a book? Well, what is this book about? :P

Michael Kodas and his wife, Carolyn Moreau climbed Everest twice (neither summited) and documented it. Michael took 18 months off work as a photojournalist for the Hartford Courant to write all about it.

It's about crime on the top of the world. Teams from all over the world questing to stand on the top of the world. Having their equipment stolen from their tents as they climb to acclamate to themselves to the thin air at the top. Deceit, theft, threats, deaths on the mountain. I read part of his manuscript and couldn't put it down.

This book is gonna be a best seller, I just know it!!! There'll be plenty of pictures too, one of which is proof that George Dejamsescu did in fact, beat the living crap out of his wife and threatened to toss her off the mountain.

I just can't wait till it comes out on the 5th!!

I finished the book and boy is it COMPELLING!!! I encourage all to read it. While the beauty of Everest is not in question, the motives of many of the Sherpa, and climbing teams is.

My opinion is when you get that high up in the world, and your life depends on getting up and down safely, it's every man/woman for himself/herself.

I'm just glad my friends Michael and Carolyn got back safe and in one peace.
