I'm still reading A Suitable Boy, but I haven't felt up to reading for very long since before the weekend, so I've just (yesterday) finished off Man of Everest, an old Reprint Society hardback I'd picked up from a charity bookshop. It's Tenzing Norgay's autobiography, transcribed by James Ramsey Ullman. Of course these days books are ghostwritten without such acknowledgement, and their supposed authors are quite probably not illiterate.
Anyway, didn't realise that it was on his seventh attempt that Tenzing succeeded in climbing Everest. Amazing. Glad I picked this book up...
Hopefully going to see Kontroll tonight.
