Are you telling me you don't enjoy reading stuff like FOTH, John Long's Climbing Anchors, and ANAM cover to cover for fun? Do you even climb brah

The latter Joe Simpson books (post Touching The Void) are quite entertaining, and the prose is much more engaging/mature than his first effort. I'm thinking This Game of Ghosts, Storms of Silence, etc.

This Game of Ghosts made a real impression on me. That scene at the party? Wow.
