Home Tanning Skins by Edward Gein is interesting I got it.

I have zero patience to read books.
I’ll read a dry, 30 page medical research study but I just can’t get into that Danielle Steele fantasy world or whatnot.
Just ain’t me dawg I think there might be a lot of space between medical research and Danielle Steele but to each his own... You’re probably right This fits in there somewhere ![[Linked Image from i.postimg.cc]](https://i.postimg.cc/C1Wj8TcZ/E5-E2-E7-B7-D91-F-4-A9-A-9227-616-BED6-F1-E60.png)

I'm about to start my "Master and Commander" 20-volume set yet again. It's been a couple years, and so all of O'Brian's marvelous prose will be fresh for me again. My hat is off to you sir. I do not know you, but I know you by what you read...the greatest fiction writer ever. I have read my set 3 times. Each time, I uncover another layer. He was brilliant and an astute observer of the human condition.
Well this is a fine pickle we're in, should'a listened to Joe McCarthy and George Orwell I guess.

Ruark, Capstick, Barsness, Aagaard, to mention just a few. I have a worn-out copy of the Finn Aagaard articles he wrote for American Hunter which I re-read. Some of those articles were reprinted in a hardbound book about ten years ago, but not all. Hunter, by J.A. Hunter, and his other works as well. In the detective genre, I like all the stuff by Michael Connelly. Here are nine of Dave Petzal's favorite African hunting books: https://www.fieldandstream.com/9-best-african-hunting-books/

Agreed. Great book. The Climb by Anatoli Boukreev is excellent as well.
Every day on this side of the ground is a win.

The Berkut
Stephen King - most, but The Dark Tower series is his best, IMO.
Broncos are officially the worst team in the nation this year.

Been meaning to pick that one up for a while now but never fails, walk into a Halfprice books and forget about everything I went there for. Recently reread Counting Coup and Cutting Horses by Anthony R McGinnis. Good one. You would love the Titus Bass series I mentioned earlier in the thread.
