Week 4:  Part II Recommendation to Colleague on Goodreads

I checked out Greg Miller's book choices on Goodreads and recommended 2 books based on those he mentions on his Goodreads page.  For an adventurous thrill ride to the top of Everest and back, Touching the Void by Joe Simpson would be a good match to his Into Thin Air. The book is from 1988 but we still own 4 copies of this book. It has withstood the test of time. 

For a second pick, I thought he might try Neverwhere by Neil Gaiman since he liked The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy.  Neverwhere is an urban fantasy story that takes place in London's underground where hoardes of homeless meander the sewers along with historical and fantastical creatures.  Murder and mayhem keep this plot twisting and turning.  There was a BBC presentation of Neverwhere in 1996 where it was aired as six half hour shows.
