I always try to take some books out with me, especially on long backpacking trips(one reason my pack weighs 75 pounds), and I've been able to find some good ones at a used book store so I can buy them cheap and burn them page by page to lighten my load. Here are a few I remember:

Beck Weather's LEFT FOR DEAD
Book about the ESSEX TRAGEDY
NOT WITHOUT PERIL about Mt Washington
Book about the KARLUK TRAGEDY
SOLDIERS AND SHERPAS by SAS soldier/climber Bronco Lane
Of course the Larry Dean Olsen book(expert flint knapper)
ORDEAL BY HUNGER: THE DONNER PARTY, great read on winter trips.

I loved Minus 148 and read it many years ago on another trip.

Some of the Clint Willis series books about high mountain survival are good, too.
