What are you reading?

[Hunt anything]

Under the African Sun by Dr Frank Hobbes.

Read it before and it’s a pretty good read , mostly about East Africa with a little Botswana thrown in.

The guy that wrote this is Dr Frank Hibben, freaking spell check.

I am going to be honest and say I don’t read novels or books. I go to the gym or plant food plots or go hunting or fishing.
I read enough at work via contracts and emails. lol.

Big Game Hunting and Collecting in East Africa 1903-1926 by Kalman Kittenberger is my current read.

I have many of the books mentioned in this thread, which I read and then re-read. Maybe my memory isn't what it once was--sometimes I almost feel like a re-read is the first time!

Just started reading Capstick's "Safari: The Last Adventure". Something of Value is on deck.

Currently reading/re-reading the Gospel of Matthew and have found a much greater appreciation for the Good Word than I had as a child

Last African book I read was Heart of an African Hunter by Peter Flack, great assembly of his various hunting experiences

That’s not reading that’s called work and it rarely equates to pleasurable. Reading is usually relaxing.

I just finished "Shotguns and Shooting" by Michael McIntosh yesterday. Excellent book if you enjoy shotguns. I also ordered "Baagh Shikar: The Art Of Hunting The Royal Bengal Tiger" and can't wait to give that a read. In the meantime, I will start on "How I Killed the Tiger: Being an Account of My Encounter with a Royal Bengal Tiger" by Frank Sheffield.

I just finished Carpet Sahib, it filled in a lot of details about Corbett's life is didn't know. However, shockingly, reading about his adventures as a hardware store owner, is not quite as exciting as his own stories of hunting maneaters.

I just started "Surely Youre Joking Mr Feynman" by Richard Feynman. Stories of his life and education and some really eye opening parts about working on The Bomb at Los Alamos. Its easy to forget how incredibly far tech has come since the 1940s. They didn't even have a calculator!
