Hi Bee, Just stumbled upon this great list of adventure books. Not all about mountaineering, but all areas of adventure. Some I've read. One of my favorites - Kon Tiki.

As for mountaineering, my favorite book has to be "Snow in the Kingdom" by Ed Webster. I have an autographed copy. Lots of great photos, some of which you can see at this link.
