Finished Tu 9/6/11

I first heard of this book in an interview on Jon Stewart's Daily Show. Here's the link

Here is a link to the Wikipedia entry about the explorer, Hiram Bingham III

Basically I spent several hours reading and skimming through this book. It is an interesting tale of a contemporary travel editor, Mark Adams who despite having no experience as an outdoorsman, becomes part of an expedition to one of the most intriguing archaeological sites on the planet.
