Curious here,
I have a wide range of books about climbing/mountaineering etc and there's several which still need to be read. Question is, last summer while trudging around in Africa I carried with me a copy of The Villan (Don Whillans book) and during down time, on the long flights and layovers, I just wasn't in the mood to read it (but it was a great book though!).
This summer, I'm splitting 7 weeks between Europe and the Tetons and for the long flights/layovers/downtime I'll need something to read but what's sad is that I am a high school teacher and the only non-textbooks that I own are related to climbing (I think I had a copy of the Illiad when I was a kid but no idea where it is)...
Do you guys prefer non-climbing literature while out in the hills for extended periods of time? If so, need some help finding something to read.
