[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I've read two Donner Party books - the one you mentioned, and The Indifferent Stars Above: The Harrowing Saga of a Donner Party Bride. Definitely worth reading, though I honestly can't remember which of the two I liked better. As a side note... I've read quite a bit of what I call "disaster literature". All non-fiction, but covering a wide range of topics. I guess it's kind of how some people enjoy watching horror movies (which I hate) - I'm just fascinated by these stories. It started when I read "Into a Thin Air", which I read one New Year's Day. I was so disturbed I couldn't sleep, and immediately began reading the book again from the beginning. OK, now I probably sound like a weirdo. But anyway, if you like the Donner Party books, I can recommend plenty of other reading that is similarly fascinating. :)[/quote] PP here. I just looked back at my goodreads list, and apparently liked The Indifferent Stars Above better than Desperate Passage.[/quote]
