Touching the void

[westie_207]

Hi I am new here so i hope you like my post.

Touching the void is one of the best film. I cant remeber who stared in it apart from joe simpson (obviously). My topic at school right now is mountains and every time we have topic my teacher always reads a paragraph of the book it is quite interesting that book. I am thinking about getting the book and will soon as I find a bookstore that sells 'Touching the void' I hope.

Hi Shaun and welcome, yes Touching the Void is a great film and the book is fantastic as well as are all Joe's books. We chat about all sorts on here so feel free to jump in whenever you like.

I have a new job working at the Central library in Lothlexington. I'm the sorting room clerk for the library book sales, The Friends Book Cellar, so I get first dibs on all books that come through our doors. For an organizing, slightly ocd book freak like myself, it's heaven. So I was looking through the Travel section this morning which is where they think mountaineering literature should be categorized and can you guess what the only two mountain lit books were? Touching the Void and Into Thin Air! I found a copy of Left For Dead by Beck Weathers in the recycle bin

Z: Congrats on the interesting, new job!

I was expecting a post in "Touching the Void" thread would hint at the void of regular posts in this forum. What's going on? Where is everyone?

Congrats on the new job Zannah!

It has been quiet hasn't it Seattle??

We seemed to have lost a lot of the semi regulars!

Have applied for a new job myself here in Zurich so please cross fingers n toes (even when climbing ... no let up there!) so that I get to stay here!
