In the unlikely even anyone joins this group I thought Into Thin Air would be a good place to start since so many have read it and there is so much controversy around it. I read it a long time ago and I don't have a clear recollection of the details but my general feeling on climbing Everest is that people shouldn't buy their way up and expect a guide to hold their hand the whole way. Pay your dues, learn the skills.
