With a bit more time on my hands and poor riding weather, I find myself reading more these days. I've just finished The Road to Wigan Pier by George Orwell, and now onto Shuggie Bain by Douglas Stuart, both books are historically correct, shocking detail, real social statements. Anyone else finding solace in a good book?
I read a lot, but don't read Fiction, only Autobiographies, historical accounts, travel stories etc, including lots of stories of sea voyages and adventures. I've just started 'Nigel' by Monty Don having enjoyed his books in the past, but my favorite in recent times is 'Sea Dog Bamse': https://www.amazon.co.uk/Sea-Dog-Bamse-World-Canine/dp/1841588490. I'd also like to recommend 'No Mean Soldier': https://www.amazon.com/No-Mean-Soldier-Autobiography-Professional/dp/1857972503
