I don't know how you keep track of all of our foibles. Hats off.
I don't know why I was silly enough to think that just because the book was on the Best True Survival listopia that it would automatically have the GR genre of ""Survival" -- especially since the task instructions specifically warned about such a thing. And I'm doubly shamed because the Dyatlov Pass incident -- had no survivors!
