    The Pale Horseman by Bernard Cornwell. A tale about 9th century Britain in King Alfred's reign.
    The latest Renew magazine about alternative technology.
    and.....Carbine and Shotgun Speed shooting by Steve Moses. There are NO courses available here to learn that kind of thing so I have to find books about it.

    I just finished reading Louis L'amour's "Galloway"

    The first couple chapters are an incredible story of survival in the wilderness.

    Here are a couple lines:
    How much can a man endure? How long could a man continue? These things I asked myself, for I am a questioning man, yet even as I asked the answers were there before me. If he be a man indeed, he must always go on, he must always endure. Death is an end to torture, to struggle, to suffering, but is also an end to warmth, light, the beauty of a running horse, the smell of damp leaves, of gunpowder, the walk of a woman when she knows someone watches . . . these things, too, are gone.
    1. If it's in your kit and you don't know how to use it....It's useless.
    2. If you can't reach your kit when you need it....Its useless.

    Apparently so. But that's about all !!

    I also just picked one up from the Brisbane Gun show (yawn) about Tactical Pistol Shooting by Erik Lawrence. Looks good too.

    Just finished "Origins reconsidered" by Richard Leakey and Roger Lewin about the evolution of our species. Interesting and disappointing at the same time; yet more crapola on how animals don't have real emotions and are unable to form ideas and images in their minds. Obviously has no clue about animals and never seen a dog dream in their sleep.

    The secret knowledge of water by Craig Childs. The header on the book reads, There are two easy ways to die in the desert thirst and drowning. So far i am enjoying it. He do not so mush tell you where to find water as much as he makes me feel that i am walking with him on his trips into the desert and hes showing me where the water is.
    I am so clever that sometimes I don't understand a single word of what I am saying.

    "The Haj" by Leon Uris. Just finished it for the second time. Read all of his books. Sort of late in the game, picked him up in 2006. Mila 18 is a good one. Of course most of his books are about Israel. Writes very well Start with "Exodus" or you could just rent the Movie.

    For those who are relatively new to handguns and their proper technique I would recommend Tactical Pistol Shooting by Erik Lawrence it is great.

    I prefer FFFG to FFG.

    FFG is just too dirty.
