Yorkshireman Posted December 26, 2021 Share Posted December 26, 2021 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" 🤣. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jariworsley Posted December 26, 2021 Share Posted December 26, 2021 Science fiction, science fact or books about various hobbies. We have New Scientist on subscription, that arrives every week. Last year books on cheese making and curing meats, wine and beer making. Science fiction... Neal Asher is good, also Alastair Reynolds, Iain M Banks. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stimpy Posted January 6, 2022 Share Posted January 6, 2022 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!...

Captain Howdy Posted January 16, 2022 Share Posted January 16, 2022 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. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
