Glad you resurrected this thread Dave, I couldn't find it anywhere!

I'll comment after I get the monsters to bed.

Just finished read Etymologicon, by Mark Forsyth. Pretty light hearted compared to Forgotten Highlander, but still a good read on the origins of words. He takes one word and it's history, then leads it on to the next word in a somehow related way, very easy reading and interesting too...

[Gary Prentice]

'Autocad for Dummies'

[felixthelogchopper]

Just started 'Enemy Coast Ahead; Uncensored', Guy Gibson's account of his war without the information initially removed by military censors.

"Freedom is more than just a seven letter word" Veronica: of the Chapman family

 

Quite an interesting read!

 

And the instruction manual to the "Sage" Smart Scoop ice cream machine

 

Not so interesting but the output is awesome!!

Loved books about explorers since I was a kid, not the hyped up drama queens of today, don't have much time to read during the summer so have "The Life and Explorations of Fridtjof Nansen" printed over a hundred years ago, on the shelf waiting for winter and warm toes in front of the wood stove:thumbup1:

 

nothing like the smell of a hundred year old book!
