Thread: What are You Reading?

This is more what should read next, I am just finishing "the chase" by Clive cussler, a literary masterpiece Iknow, but i rather enjoy these sorts of books, fast reads, you don't have to concentrate overhard, they fit in your pocket when you go to the toilet at work.
Anyway my options next are:
Brilliant creatures by Clive James.
Death lands -red holocaust by James axler
Cattle duffers of the outback by Frances m Boyle
The sonnets by William Shakespeare.
Leaning towards either the first or the last, unless there is anything else good in the camp shop tonight when I drop off "the chase". We have a flying doctors book exchange, so all sorts of stuff comes in, though I bought the sonnets in the post office, it was marked down to $2.

Just another classic example of rich mining magnates with a fishes backside if you ask me!

Cheers mick, helpful as usual then.
I like to do my bit for philanthropy, if any of my grounds or house staff were ever injured in the bush I would want the RFDS to be available to them, rehiring is a real nuisance. I on the other hand would just call on one of my private aircraft to come and get me.
And I like to support the post office, they deliver my caviar and pate de fois gras.
If you keep being horrid to me I too shall eat worms, so I had best get the gardener to put some.pate and caviar in the wormery, I don't think I should be able to eat dirt flavoured worms.

Well, on a completely different note from the classics. I just finished "American Gods" and "The Ocean at the End of the Lane" by Neil Gaiman. The man is a master story teller.
Planning on starting to work through the Wheel of Time series next. I only got to book 6 before, they are all out (all 14 of them) and I am really looking forward to finishing out the story.

"Fearless" by Eric Blehm. This is the story of Seal Team 6 member Adam Brown as recounted by his fellow Seals and his
wife and children.
I think we would be hard put to find a Soldier with Adam's courage and love of life.

"The Third Bullet", by Stephen Hunter (a Bob Lee Swagger novel). An interesting "what-if?" take on the assassination of JFK (11/22/1963, 50th anniversary this fall).
