What are you reading?

Almost done with Ruark's "Horn of the Hunter" and Keith's "Big Game Rifles & Sixgun Cartridges and Loads"--one volume for Keith's combined books. Ruark had quite a sense of humor, along with an appreciation for adult beverages. One understands, regrettably, how he died young of liver complications. Keith brings a plain-spoken realism I've loved since I first read an article by him in Guns & Ammo, September '67.
Chapter 14 in horn of the hunter about buffalo and Hemingway is my favorite
 
I am most of the way through "Home From the Hill" by Fred Webb. What an irreverent look at far North Country hunting!
 
Currently reading.

Bwana, There's a Body in the Bath!
by Tony Park, Peter Whitehead

Not quite finished but an interesting read. Basically an autobiography of Peter Whitehead who, among other things was a game ranger in Northern Rhodesia and ended up working animal support on some of the films of the day including Hatari.
 
I’m carefully reading “Hunter” by J.A. Hunter printed in 1952. I received this used book as a gift when I was in 5th grade, 1975 I believe. I’ve read it so much over the years I’ve had to tape the binding since it’s falling apart. I guess I could read it on my Kindle but something about this book, it planted the seed of one day hunting Africa.

Jerome, do you think my last post in rough camping must maybe shift as an article?

Good afternoon,

I'm trying to get in contact with Mr Butch Searcy. I have the opportunity to buy one of his rifles chambered in 577 nitro Express however the seller does not have any of the paperwork with the information about what ammunition or bullet weight was used to regulate it. I know he is not making firearms anymore but I wanted to reach out after seeing one of your post about him.

Hi - the only (best) method of sending you the .375/06IMP data is with photographing my book notes. My camera died so the only way I can do it is with my phone. To do that, I would need your e-mail address, as this
new Android phone is too complicated to upload to my desk computer, which would be easier and to down-grade, reduce the file sizes.
Best wishes
Daryl
