I need something to read

[Dave]

I've just been given a nexus 7, and never read a book via electronics before, but some of these recommendations sound great. Gonna order some for the tablet, once I figure out how to turn it on.

I doubt very much if this is available in any e-format but it's a cracking little book:

 

[jontok]

Bridge of birds by Barry Hughart or the Discworld series by Terry Pratchett.

Or... Go to Kindle books on Amazon, go to categories: Sciens Fiction, fantasy and mysteries and sort them "cost low-high", and start downloading

Have you read Philip Pullman's 'His Dark Materials' Trilogy? Its definitely in my top 10. Some quite bushcrafty stuff in it as well, especially the first book.

Do you like reading about the Viet Nam War?

These boys really knew how to live in the woods. (and die in them......)

The first couple of books in Steven Erikson's Malazan Book of the Fallen were cracking reads, in my opinion. And I wouldn't discourage anyone from reading the rest of the series, either.

Cheers,
Leif

Hatchet by Gary Paulsen was a good one for me

I'm working my way through David Gemmell's Drenai series right now. It's a sword and sorcery books with not too much sorcery and lots of swords and axes. Easy reading and very well written dripping with pathos too.

I can send you the nine books I have in this series of books via email in .mobi format to put onto your Kindle if you'd like Sam. Let me now via PM if you'd like 'em.

Old books do? Anything by Louis Lamour, Ellery Queen, Alfred Hitchcock, or Allistair McClaine.

Newer? Anything by John Grisham.

Tell me what you want Sam and I'll more than likely be able to email them to you.

'Centennial', or pretty much anything else by James A. Michener. 'Tales of the South Pacific', is good too.

End Of The Road by Tom Bodett www.amazon.com/The-End-Road-Tom-Bodett/dp/0688087019

'Centennial', or pretty much anything else by James A. Michener. 'Tales of the South Pacific', is good too.

When I lived on Cyprus there was a little bar in Paphos run by an elderly English woman and they had a 'free' library there, you could take a book home with you on the honour system you'd bring it back (only for residents use) plus drop off books you had spare and I took home 'Texas' by Michener. A big thick book which I enjoyed so much I got my own copy upon my return to the UK together with some of his other works.

Centennial was a good read and a pretty good TV series IIRC.
