It gets better Red, it is a bit slow at first but comes to a very interesting conclusion.
I've just finished The Natural Navigator by Tristan Gooley and I thoroughly enjoyed it. It has literally changed my perspective when out and about.
I'm currently reading Empire of Silver by Conn Iggulden, the fourth in his series based on the Mongol empire. He excels at historical epics, outdoing even Cornwell.

Mr. Nice by Howard Marks. The last of last years' Christmas presents. I just started so I definitely won't be finished by the time I get new books this Christmas. For some reason that makes me feel like I have failed.
"The Ingoldsby Legends"
Having read various H Rider Haggard books earlier this year, I remembered Allan Quatermain saying that he wasn't a literary man, having only ever read The Bible and The Ingoldsby Legends. A few weeks ago, I just happened to come across an 1882 edition of The Ingoldsby Legends in the bookcase that we'd inherited from my wife's parents, which I am now reading.

Just finished "Agent Zig Zag" by Ben Macintyre. Amazing. True story of a WWII double agent.
A gripping, completely fascinating read.

Finished Call of the Wild the other day and started on White Fang but found I was a bit over-dosed on Doggy fiction, so I set that aside and moved on to Contact by Carl Sagen, bit slow and different to the film version but enjoyable enough.
I've just finished The Affair - the latest Jack Reacher novel. Not bad but not the best Reacher by far.
Not yet decided which book to start next.

Just finished "One Man's Wilderness" by Richard Proenneke and Sam Keith. It was the most inspirational book I've ever read.
Now reading "The Magic of Reality" by Richard Dawkins. I balance my bushcraft reading with books about science and skeptical thinking.

Some war book can't remeber the exact title but something like 'immediate response team' about chinook crew in afganistan. A bit heavy going.
just finished:
'no fly zone' - a harrier jet pilot who got shot down/ evacuated along with some SAS guys. I enjoyed that one
'Natural Navigator' - REALLY enjoyed
'The long walk' - REALLY enjoyed
My local library has a 'free' section of donated books you can pick up, you don't have to bother checking it out/ paying, you can keep them for as long as you like - they like it if/when you get round to giving them back. so usually pick up a couple of random books every now and again - a good system [and yes I do give them back, even if it is after a couple of months]
