What are you reading?

Haven’t read this one in awhile and am enjoying reading it again. It tends to fuel a fire to return and hunt!

Just finished this one, with all of the buffalo talk lately I’ve started rereading Buffalo 2 bye Boddington and Africa’s Most Dangerous bye Robertson.
 
I'm listening to an audiobook version of King Stach's Wild Hunt by Uladzimir Karatkievič and oh my god the age gaps are even worse than I remember. Great descriptions of everything though, really makes one feel depressed.
 
A little bit different kind of hunting and shooting story. Very interesting details on how the B-52 mission happened to start Dessert Storm.

Has anyone read Kenneth Anderson?

I'm tempted to pick up some of his books to read. I don't expect them to be the same level as Jim Corbett's writing but if they're decent I'll get some.
 
Theo of Golden - currently on NYT bestseller list. A very good book.

I have read all of Ken Anderson’s books, they are good, but not as good as Jim Corbett. They are on Internet Archive for free if you don’t want to buy them.

Pulled out “Green Hills of Africa”, going to see if Hemingway has grown on me in the last few years. First chapter was a little smoother than I remember.
 
I'm reading PITY by ANDREW MCMILLAN which I really wasn't expecting much from as I've not bothered with his FILTHY POETRY but so far it's REALLY GOOD
 
I truly enjoy these books written about hunters exploits in the first half of the 20th century.

Finished 'Death in the Long Grass' on the audiobook, and enjoyed it so much decided to move into 'Death in the Silent Places'.

Still slogging through Green Hills, as someone who writes extensively for a living, its bothering me more and more how it reads as 'a series of incongruous thoughts'. I'll probably still finish it though.

Have a copy of Ruark's 'Horn of the Hunter' on the way as I'd like to take it with me on my trip.
 
I read Green Hills for I think the second time last week, the first time was tough but the second time was much easier to read. The first time I read it I was in camp in the Zambezi Delta 12 years ago and my mind was pretty much on other things.
 
E.C. Crossman wrote two very fine books that would be of interest to almost any student of centerfire rifles and marksmanship.

"The Book of the Springfield", 1932, followed immediately in the same year by its companion volume "Military and Sporting Rifle Shooting" are a pair to draw to.

Crossman's works are thorough treatments of his subjects; instructive, technical, and entertainingly written. They are nicely bound and well illustrated with black and white photographs.

Like the more famous "Sixguns" by Elmer Keith, 1955, each of Crossman's books could be considered the standard reference work on its subject for its era.

I have to be honest, “ Green Hills of Africa “ I found rather uninspiring.

Anime Slayer APK is honestly one of the best anime apps I’ve ever used. It’s packed with a massive collection of both popular and underrated titles, and everything streams smoothly without interruptions. I appreciate how well it runs even on mid-range Android devices.

Between Blak Rock and Pocahontas, I did not want to say that on the forum. That's a nice Cat!
