Around 9:00 p.m., thirty or forty people -- employees and their families, mostly -- were chatting, playing party games, and sipping beverages from red plastic cups in a room overlooking the parking lot when a shiny Chrysler 300 sedan pulled up and rolled to a stop in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows, attracting the attention of the revelers. Two well-dressed men with dour expressions got out of the vehicle and stood beside it.

I really liked Into Thin Air and Under the Banner of Heaven, too, and hope to read Missoula soon. Great choice!
I loved Into Thin Air and have meant to read more by this author. I actually have this on audio and hope to listen to it at some point. I think I'll have to pick my time carefully. I know it will make me mad. :-)

Here's mine: “MY SUNSHINE AWAY”
I like Jon Krakauer's books too, and this is one I am definitely interested in reading, not just because of the author but because of the subject matter as well.
I would definitely read more -- great author and I the mood for non fiction too.
I'd keep reading. I really want to know what's going to happen next.
