I tend to read only in the winter months. Then I read mostly autobiographies or true life stories. Being a  big motorcycle racing fan, the last book l read was Shane Byrne's autobiography "unshakeable"......which confirmed my opinion of him as a "bighead" 🤣.

Sadly I haven't read "proper" for some years... Last thing would have been No Boundary by Ken Wilbur - a book about worldly approaches to consciousness! I don't think I quite finished it either...

 

Otherwise mostly just technical manuals or researching for various projects.... 

 

I plan to catch up on reading during retirement!. I also promised the missus I would cook more then..... HMPF!...

A book I would recommend to anyone interested in technology or aviation.

 

'The Hunt for Zero Point' by Nick Cook

 

Interesting book in general but the talk about very high voltages being applied to the leading edges of wings on aircraft, that change their aero characteristics had me quite fascinated.
