Blog Tour Review: Into Thin Air, by Orjan Karlsson

PUBLICATION DATE: 16 JANUARY 2025PAPERBACK | £ 9.99 | ORENDA BOOKS Description When nineteen-year-old Iselin Hanssen disappears during a run in a popular hiking area in Bodø, Northern Norway, suspicion quickly falls on her boyfriend. For investigator Jakob Weber, the case seems clear-cut, almost unexceptional, even though there is some suggestion that Iselin lived parts of her life beneath the…

Into Thin Air is a remarkable account of an unthinkable event and the people that shaped its outcome. I was constantly turning to Wikipedia to learn of the players’ backgrounds and fate, Krakauer’s portrait was that riveting. Every time I feel a cold bite at my fingers or nose, or feel exhausted in subzero Toronto, I am sobered by the reality many others willingly endure at staggering heights. Thank you Jon Krakauer for having the guts to write this real book about an unimaginable event and world. #everest #mounteverest #jonkrakauer #intothinair #books #nonfiction

'Into Thin Air' by Jon Krakauer I don't know how to write about this book- every adjective that I think of is saddled with the weight of death. A retelling of the events that unfolded in the deaths of his fellow mountaineers, the book is a personal account by @krakauernotwriting of what happened and make sense of the whys. What worked for me: • Sherpas, local Nepalis who ace mountain climbing, have not been shuffled as footnotes to the mountain climbing experience. They literally set the stage for the non-Nepali folks to climb- from carrying supplies to setting ropes and yet in the 90s a tour guide charged $65000, while the Sherpa who works the hardest made about $2500. Go do the Math. As someone from the subcontinent and from a country whose heritage includes examples of this kind of exploitation, it's safe to say- it made my blood boil. • I knew there are risks in mountaineering- high altitude sickness is something we are advised about while doing our acclimatization when travelling to higher altitudes- but the book delves into that and others in more depth and covers a larger risk base. It was scary- how the body turns against itself when so out of its comfort zone. • Krakauer's writing is fascinating. He has written about a horrific episode with remarkable clarity and coherence. I wanted to devour everything that he has ever written. Sharing one of the pic that I have from the Himalayan range. And another of a quaint railway station in the foothills of Himalayas. Sunday mornings armed with a flask of tea and sandwiches, we would head to this platform and chill. Only two trains frequented this station- one arrived in the morning. Another left at night. This station is neither so laid-back nor as quaint anymore. #intothinair #jonkrakauer #nonfictionreads #nonfictionbookclub #nonfictionbooks #mustreadbooks #bookrecommendations #mountaineeringbooks #womenwhoread #indianbookblogger #indianbookstagrammer #delhibookstafam #delhibookstagram #delhibookstagrammer #delhibookstafam #newtobookstagram #newbookstagram #newbookstagrammer #nevernotreading #bookishthoughts #bookishlove #booksbooksbooks #unitedbookstagram #unitedbookstagramindia (at Delhi, India) https://www.instagram.com/p/CaeJanYLlac/?utm_medium=tumblr

No último sábado, fazendo uma matinê com o Marido, escolhemos como segundo filme "Evereste". Rolando os primeiros minutos eu entendi que o ano era 1996...E depois o nome de Jon Krakauer surgiu numa conversa e logo disse ao Marido: Eu tenho esse livro! (não foi tão calmo assim, algumas expressões em volume alto foram ditas quando o nome do Krakauer foi mencionado). Portanto, metade de mim queria ler logo No Ar Rarefeito e a outra metade queria que A Estrada não terminasse nunca! Ambos sobre sobrevivência: o primeiro sobre uma escalada com muitos erros no percurso e o segundo como resistência ao mundo pós-apocalíptico. Recomendo ambas as leituras e filmes! . . . . . #jonkrakauer #noarrarefeito #intothinair #tragedia #everest #india #escalada #relato #livro #documentario #sobrevivencia (à Sebo do Portuga) https://www.instagram.com/p/CONteYrjcyj/?igshid=1tre0zigwlplc

Memorial for Scott Fisher and others made famous by the Into This Air disaster. As expert mountaineer @ed_viesturs reminds us, the summit is only 1/2 way there. Amazing journey but also sobering. #intothinair #mountains #outdoors #everest #memorial (at Lobuche, Nepal) https://www.instagram.com/p/CNey_Usjo08/?igshid=1jvakuc37aqrs

Lucid dreaming? I drew on my arm during a dream to catch a quote from some guy in snow pants. We were in an airport. I can’t recall why he overheard me mention #intothinair Apparently drawing on my arm in a dream is a good way to fix a memory. . . #everest #nophotosplease #luciddreaming

First day in the studio recording new songs. It’s been over five years since I last recorded new music. And then came my girls. What a joy it is to be back. What a relief. Treasured moments with tremendously talented and extraordinary people. Grateful.

May 20th, 2020 || 📚mini-reviews📚 . 🌿All Among the Barley by Melissa Harrison. i thought that this novel was going to be a difficult one to read. don’t know why i thought that to be honest but i was very wrong. i was completely mesmerized by page 1; the writing was very beautiful, descriptive and focused on nature. Harrison deals with very different themes from class, mental health, privilege, self-identity, gender and sexuality to the rise of Fascism in the UK and its “let’s go back to the past and focus on traditional British way of living” kind of mentality; and she does so in an incredibly nuanced and subtle manner. there was one problem for me: i wish it had been longer. i was not ready to let the characters go. . 🗻Into Thin Air by Jon Krakauer. i’m not into mountaineering, at all and simply thinking about climbing a mountain, least of all Everest, makes me shudder. but at the same time i find interesting to understand why others would. Krakauer survived the Everest Disaster of 1996 and the book gives his account of what happened in the mountain prior, during and after May 10. i have to say i enjoyed the second half a lot more than the first half and i appreciate the fact that he is aware that he made mistakes and acknowledged the fact that some of his memories were tainted. nevertheless, what these people went through must have been horrendous. . what was the last book you finished? i hope you are having a great week and staying safe 😘 • • • #adayinbooklandreviews #springathon #intothinair #jonkrakauer #allamongthebarley #melissaharrison #naturewriting #literaryfiction #comingofagestory #unitedbookstagram #bookaesthetic #recentlyread #mayreads #recentreads #bookreviewers #fortheloveofreading #readeverything #bookishpost #bookloversunite https://www.instagram.com/p/CAaLjnHqoMM/?igshid=otbklkn9nb7c
