Along with books for professional development, and a bit of fiction to relax, I always have some climbing related book in progress. At the moment I am reading a book by Bob Bates (of Alaska and K2 fame). The book - Mystery, Beauty, and Danger - was actually his Ph.D. thesis, written shortly after World War II, and recently published as a slim volume. As one might expect, pretty scholarly, however he is a very good writer. (To enlarge the illustrations just click on the photopgraph.)
