Finally got around to reading Horn of the Hunter by Ruark earlier this year before an Africa trip we did in August (just vaca no hunting). It is excellent and absolutely worth the read whether or not you ever go to Africa. Ruark is a hilarious author, and then just when you least expect it he works in little gems of sincerity and insight.

Just picked this up, I'm only like 25% of the way through but I'm definitely enjoying it. Glad to see someone bringing this topic to a larger audience.

Been on a kick of reading novels set largely in and around Texas. Last few have been Lonesome Dove, The Son, and currently 3/4 through Blood Meridian. All have been damn good.

Also purchased a reader’s guide to BM (“Notes on Blood Meridian”) which gives a ton of historical context and clarity to obscure references in the novel. Highly recommended accompaniment.

I am about half way through this one. It's been good so far. A lot of references to the areas I visit to hunt frequently and where I live now. Few places I have visited in NE and on hunting trips.

Reading River of Doubt written by Candice Millard. Only a few chapters in - enjoyable read thus far.

Summary from Amazon:

I’ve had this book sitting on the shelf for a couple years and I’ve finally gotten around to reading it.

Holy crap, what a book.

Better introduction than flower moon. We'll see how it goes.

Fantastic choice. Re-read this at night in my tent on my last hunt in SE Colorado, not too terribly far from where the Comanche made their winter camps along the Arkansas.

I’ve had this book sitting on the shelf for a couple years and I’ve finally gotten around to reading it.

Holy crap, what a book.

Always thought this would make for a great historical movie or a Netflix type limited episodes series. This is a non fiction life and death "adventure" of Theodore Roosevelt and those with him, including his son... Without spoilers, I'll leave it at that.

No clue where it's packed. I just ordered the audible version. I'll see if the imagination from reading matches the narrator's presentation of the harrowing and tragic events.

Thanks for bringing that one back to the forefront.

The Trial. F Kafka. Present from my daughter. So far, it’s entertaining.

This is the first book of Leonard’s that I’ve read. It’s an easy and enjoyable read. I have City Primeval up next.

I'm just wrapping up Wilderness of Hope. I really enjoyed it.

All things fire, past to present.
Good synopsis of Earth's dependence on petroleum and it's effect on our bubble, which in turn links to the change of the power of fire.
Rather frightening really.

Only 25hrs left to go! I grew up in WV, my family settled western VA in the 1730s, today its eastern WV, Pocahontas county.

Lot of familiar names and places. I was part of an archlogical dig at an old salt spring on Kanawha River when I worked for Corps of Engineers as part of a lock replacement project..that salt spring was referenced in the book.

Forsyth is a meticulous descriptor and character builder...

Has been very interesting so far, can be dry but all important

Just going through this McGarrity series right now...easy read, something to droop the eyes before bedtime rather than keep me up all night contemplating life...
