i don't want to be seen as a pretty thing;
it's the pretty things we're always breaking

touching the void

joe simpson

granted, i’d already seen the movie, and because the movie is quite faithful to the book, there wasn’t really anything “new” in this book that i hadn’t already seen. despite that fact, i tore through this book in two days. simpson’s story is amazing, and he tells it well. this book, and the movie based on it, are highly recommended to anyone who enjoys this sort of real-life thriller.
