I have been absent from this thread for a while as I had nothing to give away. I have recently bought a Kobo Reader, stylus and Sleepcover case. I can't say that I would recommend them, but I was...

I binned a load of Sharpe DVDs a while ago. They must have been made on a very tight budget. I think that there were no more than 20 people acting in all of them.

Legionnaire - Five Years in the French Foreign Legion, The World's Toughest Army
Simon Murray

I read this book on the recommendation of others on this thread, and what a book it is. Legion...

I tried the film on Netflix last night and couldn’t get into it. I mentioned it to my other half and she said that she had tried some time ago but felt the same as me - far too slow.

Iberia - Julian Sayarer

A great author and round the world cyclist. This passage is typical of his writing style:

I make peace with the road, resolved that on it I will stay a while in search...

Homesick - Why I Live in a Shed
Catrina Davies

Having missed the opportunity of buying a house as prices soared, Catrina finds herself living in a shared rented house with 4 strangers and one of...

I have not read (books) much at all for months, reading off the internet instead, but a review of Homesick - Why I Live in a Shed by Catrina Davies, made me change my habits. I am not far into it...

Last Flight to Kuwait was the name of the docu-drama. It was reasonable to watch.

Edit: Free on YouTube

I am really enjoying this. Thanks for the heads-up.

One Long Night...

Not a book, but a fascinating read nonetheless - The Knackerman - Guardian Long Read

I read some a while ago, on an iPad, and I was impressed with the artwork. In fact it was often better than the storyline.

It is yours Tim. Please PM me your address and I will get it into the post for you.




Consider it yours Pretzel. I don't keep addresses of people to whom I have sent books, so please furnish...

Agreed, although I am just trying to get rid of mine. In fact here are a couple that didn't go the first time that I offered them out, and a couple of new ones. Please leave your interest in the...

Please consider the book yours. I will have it in the post this week. Nothing pleases me more than when when one of my books gets passed on after the recipient has read it.

Thanks

Sam's Teach Yourself SQL

I picked this book up used from Amazon. It's yellowed and well-used, but very usable for people who want to learn SQL. The exercise data are...

A history of Stalag Luft III is an amazing book. I was really surprised at the ingenuity of...

It's been reserved I'm afraid. With any luck the person who has asked for it may pass it on when he has finished.

Zero Footprint now taken.

Was it the version that Amazon gave away free? (Most of his books I think).
