Touching the Void: The True Story of One Man's Miraculous Survival Touching the Void: The True Story of One Man's Miraculous Survival by Joe Simpson


My review


rating: 5 of 5 stars
This story is another heart-stopping, "will to survive" type adventures. To be left for dead, survive the brutal cold weather of the Andes and to crawl out with a broken leg makes for a story that would be hard to make up. Yes, truth is stranger and more amazing than fiction. You've got to read this book if you are interested in real-life adventure.

The Russia House: A Novel The Russia House: A Novel by John le Carré


My review


rating: 3 of 5 stars
Great cold war era spy novel. Second Le Carre' book I've read that had an unexpected ending. Makes us non spy types realize how complicated the spy and disinformation business can get. Especially when love gets thrown into the mix.
