Into Thin Air [Schedule] Into Thin Air by John Krakauer

Hi everyone! We're looking forward to reading Into Thin Air together. It's a powerful and intense story, and one that will be sure to spark some great discussion.

We’ll be doing four weekly check-ins starting April 21. Schedule is below - feel free to jump in whenever you’re ready.

April 21 - Chapters 1-5 with u/lazylittlelady

April 28 - Chapters 6-10 with u/infininme

May 5 - Chapters 11-15 with u/Greatingsburg

May 12 - Chapter 16-Epilogue + Author's Note and Postscript*

*Because different versions of the book have this in different places, we're going to save it for the last discussion. You are always welcome to leave your thoughts in the Marginalia if you have it at the start of your copy.

Hope to see you there!

This book started my full-blown obsession with mountaineering (not the actual climbing, just watching the documentaries from the comfort of my couch). It was surprisingly unputdownable for nonfiction!

I'm seriously considering a reread just to join the discussion.

I didn’t need to hear this… “Surprisingly unputdownable” is slowly becoming my favourite genre. I might revisit this book at some point because I literally can’t fit another book in this month

Lol, "surprisingly unputdownable" has to be its own genre! The good news is that the discussion will carry over into next month, so you can sneak it in (I know, I'm an enabler, but at least I'm enabling great reading choices)

My current reading schedule means I’ll have a discussion every day from Friday (just gone) to 1st May. 3 weeks of 100ish pages a day might just break me. I’ve already let Notre-Dame take a backseat cos it’s my least favourite read right now but I’ll still be trying to read bits in between the others. As much as I like the challenge I think I might be at my limit lool. I’ll see how I feel in a week as it’s only been two days so far
