Paths of Glory - Jeffrey Archer

Yes i read Jeffrey Archer. and i just finished his latest book Paths of Glory.. Its actually based on a true story that took place in 1920's.. about a mountaineer George Mallory and his attempt to be the first man to step foot on the top of the world - Mount Everest or as he refers it Chomolungma, Goddess Mother of the Earth.

Interesting read. since i've never read anything regarding mountain climbing. so today i googled George Mallory..

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/British_Mount_Everest_Expedition_1924

it is a true story..

His expedition took place in 1924 and his body were found in 1999 at the place marked +1 along with his climbing partner Irvine. Until today, they don't know whether these two men actually made it to the summit or not.. but according to Jeffrey Archer, they did!

The feeling of finishing a book, is just indescribable. i always take a moment and smile and sometimes i would hug the book.. before placing it on the bookshelf with the rest. but the story will linger in my mind for at least a week.


Next book: The Lost Symbol - Dan Brown.
