Light reading

[CINDERS]

Have some new books to get into have just grazed through the 3 and I must say Hatchers Notebook is extremely interesting I am looking forward to completing it.
The Owen gun looks as though the story has more dives and turns than a switchback on a foggy night.

Anyway much to the chagrin of my wife more of these things called books have arrived but all I say is when the power goes out I will be ok with a candle and a good book/s.
(No she does not mind but I am getting books but I am close to @1500 books now and its driving her a bit batty as that's what we are to do as menfolk. )

1500 books? Lightweight. I've reached the point that I can look at one of my bookshelves and see a book for the "1st" time again. I average about 5 new books a week. I live too close to used book sellers that sell hardbacks for $2 and paperbacks for $1. I have begun to show restraint lately as I am running out of places to put them. The stacked piles are growing.

I seldom ever go past a bookshop when we tour 1 suitcase is pretty empty the other the wifes contains the clothes etc so I can scrounge in those forgotten towns that always seem to have a 2nd hand shop where you find stuff and the net. I did scrounge The Last Wolf By Cox for $100/AU a while ago I cannot believe the asking price some are Wishing (sic). I have always loved books as what satisfaction does one gain when the battery dies or you get that electrical smell when the screen disappears?????
Same here A243 stacks on stacks and sealed styrofoam boxes in the shed with napthalene but I hope to get through them when I retire.......!
