Jamling Tenzing Norgay's "Touching my Father's Soul: A Sherpa's Journey to the Top of Everest" is really an excellent book. It was wonderful to read about Everest from a Sherpa's perspective.

Jamling, of course, is the son of Tenzing Norgay, who was the first to ascend Mt. Everest with Sir Edmund Hillary. Jamling himself was on an expedition up Everest with a team carrying an IMAX camera in the tragic 1996 season when 12 climbers lost their lives -- most on the same day in the teeth of a ferocious storm.

Norgay's book is a great mixture of those two stories, along with a terrific amount of information about Sherpa culture and Buddhism. This really makes for a fascinating read and a great accompaniment to the two more well-known books about the 1996 Everest season.
