Alas, age has slowed me down considerably.

I now mostly practice the Modified Stationary Panic versus the time tested, Full Bore Linear Panic.

The Dark Tower series by Stephen King. Specifically Wizard and Glass. Eric

DaveP, I actually had a dog I named Strange.

I am not an avid reader but I once read anything written by Alistair MacLean. I started reading "H.M.S. Ulysses". I couldn't put it down.

Great, now I have to dig out and reread McManus, lol

Industrial Society And It's Future, by Ted Kaczynski

Astoria: John Jacob Astor and Thomas Jefferson's overland parties journey west across the county while another party went by sea around Cape Horn to establish a trading post at the mouth of the Colombia river Ft. Astoria. Incredible tales of hardships both parties faced along the way.

The Bible

The Price Of Acquittal.

Atlas Shrugged
Undaunted Courage

Any book by Gordon McQuarrie

I like the outdoor hulls a lot and several of the ones mentioned were good. The best I’ve ever read though is Smuggler by Roger Reeves. Couldn’t put it down.

Gulos Wild Life was great too

X2
Also:Bloody tracks on the mountain, where the wild wind blows

Go read Atlas Shrugged and thank me later....

Is there anyway I could learn this reading thing?
I am out of coloring books tonight.....

Asking a guy who own nearly 85o books, and had read hundreds more to pic his favorite is just plain mean LOL

Fiction




My Side of the Mountain- Jean Craighead George - a classic, 1st read at age 12, still read it every few years, made me wish for a falcon, coon and pet weasel (Baron)

The Killer Angels -Michael Shaara - a dramatized look at The Battle of Gettysburg from both sides. Makes you understand why and how that battle was so important for the Union to win ((This word is unacceptable on Trapperman) Yankees)

Dances with Wolves - Michael Blake - movie is great, and the book is even better! I call it modern literature as it was and is that good

A River Runs Through It - Norman McLean's classic about two brother who' strict father teaches them to fly fish, the older brother is a rules follower by the book and they younger brother bends every rule and breaks others and bucks the norm. Hits so close to me as my Dad did teach my brother Matthew and I how to fly fish, and Matthew was the wild card and died young because of it





Non- Fiction - as most of my library is hunting, fishing, trapping, exploration or adventure, it makes it extra hard

Death in the Long Grass- Peter Capstick - IMHO the finest book to read on Africa, he makes you feel like you are there! (other good Capstick books - Death in the Silent Places, Death in the Dark Continent, and don't miss The Last Ivory hunter- the saga of Wallly Johnson)

The Old man and the Boy & The Old Man Boy's Grows Older - Robert Ruark - Awesome stories if you ever had an Old Man of your own as I did, the last story in An Old Man and the Boy makes me cry every time I read it as its very similar to what I did when Pop passed away in 1998

Man-eaters of Kumaon - Jim Corbett - no list of the best hunting books would be complete without Jim Corbett and his maneaters. You will be amazed at his woodcraft and tracking skills as well as his sheer bravery (bordering on stupidity except he really was that good!) His other book The Temple Tiger and More Man Eaters of Kumaon (the Panar Leopard nearly got Jim), The Maneating Leopard of Rudraprayang, and a sleeper that is excellent Jungle Lor e- where he explains his woodcraft and how he learned it

Hunter - J.A. Hunter - a classic on African Hunting, one the the ABSOLUTE best books on hunting in Africa back in the golden days, his 1st book White Hunter which is hard to find is also well worth reading

Alaskan Tales - Russel Annabel - he was likely the best write on hunting, fishing and trapping on Alaska during the 20th century, all of hsi books are well worth reading, though 1st editions are very pricey!




Plus another shelf as big as the last one also full of books LOL

Best book and one I struggled most with was the Bible,

Also enjoyed beowulf, the godfather, the hobbit, leaves of grass, etc.... Have read a ton of books.

Elvis Is Dead and I Don't Feel So Good Myself - Lewis Grizzard

The Testament - John Grisham

Dream Catcher - Stephen King

(Any book I have a hard time putting down once I start reading.)
