Book rec

Just finished ‘Between a Rock and a Hard Place’ by Aron Ralston, the climber who amputated his own arm after it was pinned by a boulder in a Utah canyon.

Good read, if a bit indulgent and pretentious at times. But hey … cut off your own arm to save yourself, you’re entitled to a little indulgent.

Highly recommended. From what i understand, he actually wrote the book himself, instead of telling his story to a ghostwriter to turn into a book.

I commented here the other night on his interview w/ Tom Brokaw on Dateline NBC Friday.

His story and graphic description of the “procedure” was riveting. I was intersted in the book - thanks for the review.
