Recently finished The Road, and went to the library and picked up Foxfire 5 to learn about blacksmithing and flintlock rifle making. Also constantly referring back to "Where There is No Doctor", since it is so thick that I can only digest it in small bites.
If you like that kind of stuff then try this link. It has a bunch of books you read through and some of the Firefox as well.

A good site to visit and join is www.paperbackswap.com.
Put a bunch of books up, if someone wants one you ship it. You pay the shipping. Bang, you get a credit for a book of your choice.
Been looking thru the titles, and see a few I have already read, and a bunch I want to read.
Lately, I have been in to forgotten history based novels.
The latest is "People of the Thunder" based on Native Americans 1300A.D.
Lots of culture, weapon types, foods, customs etc, along with some pretty good stories.
Written by W. Michael Gear and Kathleen O'Neal Gear, both archaeologists, as well as authors.
This is the latest in a series of 16 or more stories starting with the People of the Wolf, 13000 B.C. Paleo Indian era.
As archaeology (in the local society) is another one of my hobbies, this interests me, so I have read them all.
Big fan of S. King, R. Michener, T.Goodkind (Sword of Truth series), L. Lamore, Jean Auel, Lord of the Rings etc. and many others.
Last non-fiction read was the Lee and Hornaby, re-loading manuals.
