Good books?

[tra.ariana]

I've been working on a work of fiction for the last few years. Takes place in Africa in the early 1900s. Stay tuned. I'll notify you all hear when I publish on Amazon/KDP

+ I adore reading everything about Africa, wild Africa. So, I'll keep an eye on the news. As for the topic, my favorites are White Hunters - by Brian Herne and Don't Be Afraid of Death - by Mark Sullivan.

I can't quite settle on a favorite; I read everything in sight, like a "bookworm", devouring one book after another.

Any of the classic authors Capstick, Roosevelt. Hemingway, Bell, Ruark, are good reading. One by Peter Barrett is a personal favorite.

Newer books by Kevin Thomas, Kevin Robertson (look in addition to and beyond the perfect shot book!) Walt Prothero, Buzz Charltons book was a fun read.

Craig Boddington for the beginning africa hunters. I really liked Donald Donarski’s book which was a useful primer before my first trip.
Been meaning to jump into Sue Tidwell’s book when I finish the Cabelas book which is surprisingly good.

That’s off top of my head, there are libraries more to explore, lots of book reviews on this site as well

I have indeed analyzed my acquisitions, and I'll share what I bought in print after reading in electronic format. Perhaps this is my top list:

1. "Out of Africa" by Isak Dinesen (Karen Blixen)​
2. "The Man-Eaters of Tsavo" by John Henry Patterson​
3. "Long Walk to Freedom" by Nelson Mandela​
4. "The Elephant Whisperer" by Lawrence Anthony with Graham Spence​
5. "Cry, the Beloved Country" by Alan Paton​
6. "The No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency" by Alexander McCall Smith​

So, I recommend these for reading.

Any of the books by Sir Samuel Baker. My favourite is The Rifle and Hound in Ceylon. You can still buy the hard copy, or you can read it online at: https://www.gutenberg.org/files/3231/3231-h/3231-h.htm
