Adult Book Club

The adult book club will read “Into Thin Air” by Jon Krakauer this October.

A 1997 best-selling nonfiction book, “Into Thin Air” details Krakauer's experience in the 1996 Mount Everest disaster, in which eight climbers were killed and several others were stranded by a storm.

Krakauer examines what it is about Everest that has compelled so many people — including    himself — to throw caution to the wind, ignore the concerns of loved ones, and willingly subject themselves to such risk, hardship, and expense. Written with emotional clarity and supported by his unimpeachable reporting, Krakauer's eyewitness account of what happened on the roof of the world is a singular achievement.

Book club discussions will occur Thursday, Oct. 26: 1 p.m. in person at the library and at 6 p.m. on Zoom.

Books are available at SPL. Digital e-books and audiobooks may be available via Libby.

For information about the adult book club or to receive a Zoom invitation, contact the library at elayne@syracuse.lib.in.us.
