I found another one of my book stashes while looking for one. :rolleyes: This reminds me. I need to organize by subject . At least this stash has more capacity View attachment 731199
I have that Harley book, given to me by my mom Christmas 2017. Retired from riding just before the plague year. Gifted the bike to a friend/landscaper who did some work for me.

Today I am starting The Golden Bough by James Frazer and will follow up with the small yellow book. Points to anyone who gets the reference.

Enjoying my favorite cigar and author outside this afternoon.

Curious as to what books others are enjoying at the moment or recently?
Wish it were warm enough in Indiana to sit outside. Recently finished re-reading SNIPER by Martin Pegler. Comprehensive historical overview of techniques and equipment.
 
Just finished "Tramp Royale" by Robert Heinlein. About his and his wife's trip around the world in 1953-54. Interesting observations and opinions when compared to the world today.
 
Received today:

Gun digest 2026 annual edition, and Theodore Roosevelt Smithsonian Expedition to East Africa 1909-1910.

Seems odd, but I’m in Togo reading an English book on shotgunning. If you are keen on shotguns, this fellow is worth reading.

Just finished reading this book on Blamey. I’m guessing that most Australians on here would know of him. And I’m guessing that most, as I was, will only know of his “running rabbits get shot “ statement.
I’m glad I read this book and I now see him in a different light. There was a lot more to him than one regrettable sentence.

Interesting.

Might have to have a look. I’m with you, having formed a view of him based on that ill considered utterance.

Enjoying some Terry Wieland here.
 
A good friend let me borrow this book. Was one of the most interesting about what Robert Mugabe did to Zimbabwe.

The same friend also loaned this Godwin book. Lots of good reading accumulating in the home library. I forgot how much enjoyment I got from reading.

A gentleman from old Rhodesia told me that when he read this book, he was literally shaking all over. It did not have that effect on me, but then--I did not live through said events. It makes me angry how whites were treated there, and how they ARE being treated in SA today. Especially given how things have been/are being run into the ground by new management.
 
I’ve read bits and pieces of Kai Uwe Denker’s Along the Hunter’s Path, but I am now working my way from cover to cover. It’s a great read!

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
