“*Into the Silence*, Wade Davis, absorbing & sad story of much more than just Mallory on Everest.” —@EmilyCleaver

“*The Magic Mountain* by Thomas Mann. Nothing happens, up a mountain. Thrillingly static.” —@Tiny_Camels

“*Emperors of Dream.* by Mike Jay, a study of the birth & use of today’s (mostly) illegal highs coke, hash, heroin/op”. —@KatyDarbyWriter

“*Reperfusion* by ARH. A book in which reality surges up then falls to pieces.” —@wps&b
