Ah, shame about the 2nd series

(and the sticky ends deserved).

 

[Pattree]

I’ve just been given this.

I’ve always wanted to try and understand why a rational mind can espouse flat Earth theory. There are people whose views I normally respect who apparently hold this view. If you are one of them then I’m not attacking you in any way. I’m trying to understand.

I’ve only just started it and I’m determined I shall finish it.

Right now I’m not sure whether the author believes that the Earth is flat or whether they believe that they can make money by writing a book declaring that the Earth is flat.

Androcles and the Lion by Bernard Shaw in the Shavian alphabet, which I only learnt this week. A bit slow going still.

 

[SaraR]

I’m terrible at writing it still - all those vowels! But at least it’s not that hard to read.

One man’s wilderness. Dick Proenneke is the man. I must have read the little book 20 times. Reading Mors Kochanskis instruction pamplets, in tandem.

Great thread. Some really interesting books here.
Been shopping for a couple already

Need a refreshing change from the politics/economic history/social history rut that I’ve got myself into…
Thanks

Reading this currently - slow to start but really picking the pace up in the middle with some plot twists.

 

[Decacraft]

Brian's Winter by Gary Paulsen
Only The Dead- Jack Carr

 

[Tony]

Tribes by Seth Godin, it's stood the test of time surprisingly well

 

[Jonno70]

Enjoying reading the Last Kingdom series of books by Bernard Cornwell. I don't normally binge read but currently on the 8th book, I can't put them down.

 

[rowen]

Well I’m listening to it while I do house jobs.

The Old Man and the Boy by Jack Ruark

Fantastic so far I would really recommend!

 

[MikeLA]

Re reading for the 1000th time Eddie McGee Complete book of survival. Easy going with lots of information .

 

[Snufkin]

Listening Point by Sigurd F. Olson.

 

[Woody girl]

Herbology, a physic garden pharmacy, by Catherine Conway-Payne. Of the Royal botanical garden Edinburgh.
Lots of history, horticultural info and recipes for balms cough medicines and much else.

 

[HereBeDragons]

Now re-reading Bomber by Len Deighton

 

[Billy-o]

Just finished listening to the BBC Hordern/Briers 'Jeeves' recordings. 15 plus hours of delicious.

Back to paper now and Maurice O'Sullivan's Twenty Years A-Growing; one of the Blasket Island novels

 

[bearbait]

The Ethnic Cleansing of Palestine by Ilan Pappe, an Israeli Historian.

I thought it useful to understand some of the background to the current shocking conflict in the Middle East, particularly as it seems to have the potential to mushroom into something much more sticky. Let us hope not!

 

[Riven]

Lasseters last ride by Ion L Idriess. Great Ozzie adventure with plenty of native bushcraft.
