I just finished The White Spider, which made me realize I never reviewed this book. Feeding the Rat is an account of the life of Mo Anthoine, an expert climber who's driven to climb for the joy of it and the need to test a certain part of himself. The author manages to bring Mo's wit, sense of absurdity, and enthusiasm to the text, making you wish you could join them on every expedition. This book was pretty much the opposite of The White Spider, which just made you glad you weren't on the North More...

What I took away from reading this book: pursuing your life's passions is more important than the promise of future security, so live your life while you've still got it. Simplistic, I know, but that's what it boiled down to for me.

Fun, easy read about climber Mo Antoine and mountain climbing as a passtime, as opposed to professional sport. It made my rat hungery.
