Into the Wild- great read better than the movie
Under the Banner of Heaven- Looks at the History and current state of the Mormon religion. Very interesting book and will change your view on religion in general.

Not criticizing Krakauer as a writer; criticizing that particular tome. If you'd been at Banff after his book came out, you'd understand why. Anatoly died on Annapurna the following year and as such was no longer around to defend himself against Krakauer's accusations.
But that's not the gist of this thread.
If you're going to read "Into Thin Air," which I submit is a great read, please educate yourself about the actual event by reading some of the other available books.
