I know it's mostly digital, but I still love the feel and look of a real book. I'm reading a book by Alan Rabinowitz called Beyond the last village, he runs a big cat conservation organisation called Panthera, and this is about his efforts to find out what cats still survive in Myanmar ( Burma ). Love the energy he puts into his love for the big cats.
What are you reading tonight? |

Way over Yonder, that's where I'm bound |
I only read real books. I tried to read a book on my tablet when I first got it and it just feels wrong.
I'm currently reading The First Fifteen Lives of Harry August by Claire North. As it's about reoccurring lives it is a bit repetitive in places but I'll reserve final judgement until I get to the end.

"Kurt Vonnegut, Slaughter House 5
Rereading it, one of my favourites."
I've never read it but it comes up a lot on books you should read. What's it about? |

"To kill a mockingbird I bought it in book form which I don't usually do
"
I've not read that, I've only seen the film with Gregory Peck, great story. |

It crosses genres, part scifi, part war novel, social commentary. Very bitter sweet. A young American man fighting in WW2 becomes 'unstuck in time', involuntary taken to different points in his life. |

"Some old copies of The Magnet 
Don't know that one, unless you mean the Magnat, not being funny btw, "
It's an old comic with Billy Bunter in. It ran from 1908 - 1941. I've got a few originals. |

I've got some nice SH Graphic novels too, and a nice book with old pics of the locations used in the books, can't get enough of Sherlock. |
