Winter is a good time for reading, and I thought it would be good to hear about books forum members have found interesting lately. I'd say books of all types - guns, shooting, hunting, golf, history, nature, DIY projects. I know there are a lot of varied interests in the members here. I always enjoy hearing about what other find interesting. I'll start by sharing that I recently read the book below -- No Beast So Fierce. This is a modern book about Jim Corbett hunting the Tiger of Champawat. I had never read any of Corbett's books, but now I plan to. This book is a mix of Corbett biography, tiger natural history, cultural change in India, and hunting adventure. I really enjoyed it. It would be great to hear other books members have enjoyed recently. https://a.co/d/94al3Bc

Excellent read.

I reread “”My Health is better in November”, by Havilah Babcock before heading up to LOWs, and left it with Lloyd. I’m doing that with more books, reading them, and getting them off my shelf and into, hopefully, new hands. Can’t take ‘em with me.
I’ll reread “In the Gravest Extreme” by Massod Ayoob tonight. Excellent quick read.
Best,
Ted

I'm reading something a bit different for me, "Chris Beat Cancer", the true story of Chris Wark, the author, who refused chemotherapy and took his treatment into his own hands, and beat cancer.
It not only outlines a "non-medical" approach to beating cancer, but exposes much that has been hidden about big pharma and the medical community.
Fascinating read thus far.I will save my final opinion until I finish the book.
May God bless America and those who defend her.

"The Sixteen Trees Of The Somme" by Lars Mytting. Set between Norway, The Shetland Islands and France its a story of history,discovery and gun stocks. A good read.
As our language becomes impoverished,,our thinking shrinks to fit.

Highly recommend longtime writer for Road & Track magazine Peter Egan's new book "Landings In America", Two People, One Summer, And A Piper Cub".

JR Really enjoyed Egan’s stories when he worked for Cycle World.

nothing recently...
but two perpetual favorites are:
"A Hunter's Road", by Jim Fergus...
and
"A Rough Shooting Dog", by Charles Fergus...
Both written in the 1990's...
Both about bird dogs, bird guns and people and places...
keep it simple and keep it safe...

JR Really enjoyed Egan’s stories when he worked for Cycle World. Anyone remember Gordon Jennings, when he wrote for Motorcyclist Magazine? He was an engineer, who came to write at the magazine, and should have really been a teacher. He died far too young. Best, Ted

A used book son gave for Christmas: A Dance Called America by James Hunter. It addresses Scottish emigrations from the Highlands to North Carolina, New York, Ontario, Nova Scotia and the highlands clearances from the 1750's to 1850's. Horrendous story but interesting - most Southerners have a lot of Scottish DNA - turns out I'm over 70%. I didn't know for instance that no Scots were allowed into the Colonies until 1707 and almost none came until after the '45 - actually French and Indian War time when the crown decided Highlanders would be good canon fodder. It's written in journalistic style but is a great story. And Ted, a favor. Could you please keep your Minnesota weather to yourself and quit exporting it. (Photo today - 6 days after the storm and the snow has turned to solid ice with temps not rising above 32 for at least another week). ![[Linked Image from jpgbox.com]](https://www.jpgbox.com/jpg/75715_600x400.jpg)
