For 15 years I kept a blog on how mountain books are both escapist and nourishment for the hardness of life, on the mountain or the daily grind. The blog is done and this newsletter may be as well. I am still reading and reviewing mountain climbing books elsewhere and volunteering for the Banff Mountain Literature Competition, but regular content from me is a thing of the past. But you can still read my past newsletters and the archived blog at SuburbanMountaineer.com.
