I'm reading Jock Of The Bushveld, which my uncle from South Africa gave me for Christmas when I was just 8 years old.
Once I am done, then I will embark on a very long term study of The Torah.
But Jock Of The Bushveld is a real good book for young folks, it's about a dog who goes on many hunting trips in the bushveld.
*the trick is securing an original copy of this book, as more recent editions have been made more politically correct.............

Reading "The Abolition of Man" by C.S. Lewis, whose books are typically listed as some of the greatest of the 20th century.
As outlined on the book's inside cover -
In the first line of his noted book The Abolition of Man, C. S. Lewis writes: “I doubt whether we are sufficiently attentive to the importance of elementary text-books.” Likewise, I doubt whether we are sufficiently attentive to the importance of the so-called “new science of the moral sense” that is flourishing in our midst today.
Lewis was concerned about his culture’s inattentiveness to primary school text-books because he believed they contained the seeds which, when implanted in young, impressionable minds, would eventually produce a rejection of the natural law tradition of objective right and wrong. Such a rejection, Lewis justly believed, would put the whole of ethics, theology, politics, and, indeed, the future of humanity, at stake.

Scalps and Tomahawks by Frederick Drimmer.Excellent non-fiction read if you're curious what it was like to be captured by Indians in the late 18th-early 19 th century.Not a romance novel.

Yes, I know which book you are talking about as I have a whole collection of books regarding the Berlin Wall, since that is the only Germany which I know, the divided one.....
[*meaning that I've never been back since the wall came down...]
Many people at my job for some unknown reason use that as an example of what a proper barrier wall should be, but they fail to realize that this wall was built to keep people in, not out, to keep people from fleeing, not entering, hence there's a huge difference.
I actually have some small pieces of the Berlin Wall where all my books are kept.

I read many books at a rate of about 2 a week. I read mostly fiction. I like Lee Child's Jack Reacher, some of James Pattersons, and Harlen Cobans. I think I've read everything Hal Lindsay has written and will have to get Phil Robertson's book. I love mysteries mostly.

Janet Evanovich wrote a series of like 28 or so books called the "Stephanie Plum" series, I'm maybe 1/2 way thru them, Excellent stories, very funny and addictive. About an inept bounty hunters misadventure's. The place number is incorporated in the title, each one is stand alone, but with some references to earlier books.

I'm currently reading the third novel by Fredrik Backman; "My Grandmother Sends Her Regards ans Apologies." His first two, "A Man Called Ove" and "Beartown" were excellent but this one is better.
I've also been reading the Jack Reacher series of novels by Lee Child. I'm on novel five I think.

Not currently reading. But read a while ago.
' Animals in translation ' by Temple Grandin
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Animals_in_TranslationStrongly recommend to anyone on Tman. Very eye opening. Temple Grandin is autistic. She has a very unique insight into animal behaviour than a non-autistic person. Read this book , it will make you a better trapper. She has a huge hand into how almost all animal slaughterhouses are run and built today. She is highly respected.

off topic but I've been looking for a book that I read many times as a young lad in public school.
I forget the title but it was about a young inuit who went on search of where the whales went that they used to harvest,,,,turns out whalers were taking them before they reached his village. lots of trapping and hunting stories within it also.
would anyone here know what book this was???
