DIDO.1 22,751 Posted May 22 Report Share Posted May 22 Been after a copy of this book for a while now.... finally found a copy. I need to stop buying expensive books, bookshelves and loft are full and I doubt my boys will ever want em!! Just finished it so need some new reading material for my kindle....or a cheap paperback. Non fiction, I like easy reading.... nothing to deep or I can't sleep after reading in bed! Travel, humorous, easy reading ..... anyone got any recommendations? 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I have read a lot of the Bernard Cornwell books in the past, the author of Sharpe. They were good historical books. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

tatsblisters 9,672 Posted May 22 Report Share Posted May 22 Just finished reading the last of Ron Thompsons series of books about his life as a big game hunter and game warden in what was Rhodesia. His last one was about how he was commissioned to track terrorists with his bushman tracker. I found them good reading tbh. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I got them on my kindle mate out of the six books he wrote in the series the two I enjoyed most was the one about the live black rhino capture and the last one game ranger wars. Gives an insight to how Rhodisia went to shit when Mugabi took over and it became Zimbabwe. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I was in a bookstore a few months back near picadilly,it was a bibliophiles wet dream,thousands of old books,but sadly all in locked cabinets with just the spine visible to tempt,I couldn’t spend hours in there as I had a table booked for lunch,but it was your sort of place.Your a librocubicularist. 5 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

You would have to drag me away from there with a tractor mate. My wife thinks I'm a saddo when I am always drawn to book shops and such like. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I am the same,old books and maps,that book store near picadilly has loads of first editions,one of the first cabinets has a first edition on the origin of species for around £80’ish K?Its just packed to the gunnels with fascinating literature,I love the smell of old books,the feel of the paper and turning a page. 2 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
