Clive Clusser: The Tombs was pretty good, typical boys adventure stuff, also Bear Grylls: Extreme survivor, compilation of true life survival stories ranging from sea to land survival with hostage situations and PoW stories, gives a real appreciation of what the human body and mind is able to get through.
Can't do with fiction, there's enough real things to read about and no need to make things up. Just my opinion. Next in line to read, The Numbers Game by Chris Anderson. Had a quick scan through, looks like it might be hard going. Also have One Summer 1927 by Bill Bryson. Mentioned on here before, only real books for me.
I read One Summer on holiday. Really enjoyed it. Bryson manages to be interesting and entertaining whilst essentially writing ****e about nowt. I wonder if he posts on here?
I've just started reading How Dogs Love Us by Gregory Berns, who's a neuroscientist. It's about using MRI scanning techniques to explore canine brain functionality in an attempt to decode their conscious experiences. I want to understand what my dog is thinking. 'Cos as far as I can tell he's ****ing barking. Figuratively not literally. Although literally too, if there's a fox in the garden.
I find this site not bad. http://www.free-ebooks.net/ You can choose 4 books free a month or pay for unlimited amounts. It's a mixture of new and established authors and there's some of the classics on there too.
I had the same philosophy at one point Balkan but I found that I tired of reality as I had it everyday as it was so started reading fiction to lighten things up a bit, so now its a bit of both.
