THE STIFFMEISTER 14,553 Posted March 31, 2020 Report Share Posted March 31, 2020 Not sure what your into mate , but I’ve started rereading the Jim Corbett omnibuses which not only are reflective of the last days of the Indian raj, but are beautifully written. Chuck Adams two tomes life at full draw and super slam chronically the quest to hunt all American land trophies by bow will always have a place on my shelf . Other than that my other favourites are the count of Monte cristo, the dubliners , anything by Chuck palaniuk , harlan Corban or Cormac McCarthy 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Fantastic book written from an embedded journalist, heart breaking powerful read at times . About the pressure placed on 16 year old boys to restore pride in a town that had been wrecked by a down turn in the oil industry. Have gun will travel , the rise and fall of death row records is pretty good as well if your in your into that type of thing . And finally two weird ones to finish . Cash by Johnny cash. And one of my most surprising reads , hitman , the Brett hart autobiography. f***ing brilliant book Quote Link to post Share on other sites
