Cold literature recommendations Anonymous Mon Mar 20 23:27:53 2023 No.21810974 [Reply] [Original]

I'm writing about a very cold place and it has occurred to me that I cannot describe it to a satisfying level.
Any novels about cold, wintry places? Real survival lit works fine too. Bonus points for blizzards and under-equipment.

I'll recommend Alive by Piers Paul Read. Imagine spending 10 weeks at 4,500m elevation in winter with no warm clothes or real shelter, and that's not even the worst of your problems.

Haven't read it but surely Lansing's Endurance is a more unbiased and readable account.

Based, that story made me lose sleep
