Fascinating. Poignant. Astounding. This is the story of a man, blind since he was thirteen years old, who pushes past his limitations to summit Mt. Everest. "Touch the Top of the World" is Erik Weihenmayer's moving momoir of his determination to break through barriers commonly faced by the visually challenged to ultimatly accomplish his dream of climbing the world's highest peaks (something few climbers have done). It's an inspiring read; one I enjoyed and suspect you will, too.
