Nik_B 3,790 Posted January 23, 2017 Report Share Posted January 23, 2017 OutLawPete gave me a few recommended books on poaching and keepering from the old days, also another one called the Balance of Nature by George Abbey. All very interesting. Think one was called While others sleep by Cyril Heber Percy and there were a few others but I don't know where they are right now. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Barbarian1990 220 Posted January 24, 2017 Report Share Posted January 24, 2017 you just have to look at most of the spelling on here to realise most are extreme dyslexic. I'm dyslexic struggle more with writing then reading and full stops and stuff really piss me off haha. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Fair play to you, most find maths something to fear and avoid but to have the will to go back and make a fresh start, well done. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Silversnake 1,099 Posted January 25, 2017 Report Share Posted January 25, 2017 I love reading books of any kind (fiction, non fiction, biographies, etc) reading Ernest Hemingway atm men with out women which is a little boring but I am persevering. My favourite is James clavell and I have read all his books. I recently read contact iggulden's novels on Mongolia and thoroughly enjoyed them. I don't read as much as I used to though but I feel I would have missed out on A LOT if I never read. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dytkos 17,536 Posted January 25, 2017 Report Share Posted January 25, 2017 I've got 3 going at the moment, an old football autobiography (David McVay if anyone remembers him) a trashy SAS type novel and coincidentally Eddie Chapman's first book. Oh and an old edrd mag as well. Cheers, D. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

walshie 2,804 Posted January 25, 2017 Report Share Posted January 25, 2017 It's funny how some books grab you and some don't. A while back I bought Valentino Rossi's autobiography and Jorge Lorenzo's at the same time. They've both had similar upbringings, got into motorcycling at an early age and both became world champions, but Rossi's book was fantastic and I read it in a few days. Lorenzo's book was shite and i couldn't even finish it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

A few books really get you, I read the Da Vinci Code few years back on holiday and loved it, couldn't put it down, read inferno recently and wasn't nearly as good... 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
downsouth 6,843 Posted January 25, 2017 Report Share Posted January 25, 2017 If I find a book that I'm interested in I can read it cover to cover in a couple of evenings but if I try a book just because someone's told me to try it but I'm not really interested I'll struggle to remember what I read 2 pages back. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
