I'll stick to English that is better than my German
Didn't know, I bought it on Spotify because I hate the interruptions due to advertising on YouTube.

Funny story: I did a course through work about staying mentally and physically healthy despite all the challenges. One of the things they said is that reading a novel simply for enjoyment (instead of only work-related reading) was a healthy thing to do. At that time I’d fallen out of my reading habit for far too long, and didn’t like my chances of accessing books or finding the time. But I learned about audiobooks books and chose Blood Meridian for my very first one. My work involved some pretty hectic, disturbing, scary things, so listening to Blood Meridian at first seemed like a bad choice but it grew on me and was indeed a good distraction that helped me detour into Western history which was really interesting and enjoyable, especially comparing it to Australian history.

The interesting thing about McCarthy’s character (Judge Holden) is that he purposely decided that the ambiguous background of him (The Judge) is supposed to be the real story. The characters depravity is so unsettling that the only thing more unsettling is that the only conclusion the readers can come to about the true nature and identity of The Judge. That is; he is a supernatural being and evil is not only real but tangible as well.

Just finished Great African Calibers by Tony Sanchez-Arino today.
It's a well populated genre, with Taylor, Boddington, Wieland, van der Walt and others, but I found it a good read.
It comprises bite sized, stand alone chapters, repleat with ripping yarns and Tony's first hand hunting experiences with most of the cartridges along with some basic historical summaries of many of the cartridges covered.
I received three volumes of The Kenneth Anderson Omnibus in the mail today - so despite finishing Sanchez, the reading backlog grew.

I started reading “The Blade Itself” by Joe Abercrombie. Part of the first law series.

I’ve been reading “Campfire Tales” by Rolf Rohwer which is very Good evening reading. In that book the author mentioned a book called “The White Impala” by Norman Carr, 1969. I found a copy in the USA although others were available-check the s/h though, it often exceeds the cost of the book!
I’ve started it as well and very much enjoying both books. One interesting thing is that in the White Impala book was a well aged book mark from Zambia-a minor trophy found inside a wonderful book full of elephant and other hunting adventures!

We seem to think a lot alike between lever guns and books. I’ve read Timeline and Never Go Back. Just finished The Gray Man #1. And recently bought my first two Abercrombie books and will read The Blade Itself in the next month or two.

My wife is a thriller writer and runs the International Thriller writers organization. Mark does a ton of work with us and for us. He MC's our awards dinner, teaches, and helps us promote a ton of things. He is very generous with his time, expertise and money. He also is a great story teller in person.
Really nice man with a great family. He also took the time to help me with my handgun technique.

Just finished this book on Teddy Roosevelt. A good overview of him, but having read other books on TR, it didn’t go into depth on areas I thought it should. Still an enjoyable read.

I can also mention my own book, Bien chasser à la carabine, which was released last week. It covers 60 hunting cartridges, from .243 Win to .600 NE, and provides recommendations for 95 big-game species from around the world. Of course, I may be slightly biased as the author! For the time being, however, it is only available in French.

Congrats on your book publication, wonderful achievement. Sadly my French is really bad so not an option for me to read.
