matt32 44 Posted March 10, 2011 Report Share Posted March 10, 2011 (edited) Ill get some stick for this but i got diary of a rat hunter by plummer when i was ten and to be honest reading that awakened my intrest in ferreting and hunting with dogs and turned me on to other hunting books ferreting by fred taylor and a sporting life by waddy wadsworth .Pappillon telling the story of escape from devils island was another favourite .I used to like the angling books as well i think one was by kevin nash about his quest for big carp and another was a passion for angling which had atv series of the same name really liked when they fished redmire pool in wales.In early childhood liked beatrix potter stories especially samuel whiskers and mr todd the fox.also a good autobiography was that i liked was about lemmy from motorhead even if you dont like the music the stories were entertaining.

RicW 67 Posted March 10, 2011 Report Share Posted March 10, 2011 Alice in Wonderland. Wind in the Willows. Winnie the Pooh and The House at Pooh Corner. A bit later, Robinson Crusoe, Gulliver's Travels. Then when I was nine, I read The Naked and the Dead and asked me Dad what "Fughin'" meant. This did not go down well . . .
