Man eaters of Kumaon

[goraman]

When I was in my late 20's I read Man Eaters of Kumaon and loved the book, so much I bought my own old copy at a gun show and paid way to much for it.
So tonight I got my 9 year old to put down Stick Dog Crashes the party and read my old 1946 copy . He reads well beyond his age but still likes goofy kid books kids in his class are reading.
First chapter hooked him, There is nothing better than having your son read one of your favorite books to you. And reads pretty well.
This book is hard to find in the U.S. Not as hard to find as the original songs and tales of uncle Reamus but close.

Anyone have any good father son books to recommend?

Sadly neither of my (grown up) kids read books, I've tried many times but neither are interested. My daughter (24) read all the Harry Potter books in her teens but probably nothing since and I doubt my son (21) has read a book outside school in his life

Audio books are so popular here in the U.S. There is something about the texture and smell when turning paper, and there is no battery to monitor so your book doesn't go black screen just as something pivotal is going to go down in the next paragraph or page.

i was in a seaside town the other day and they had a fairly large selection of books in smiths and then a waterstones containing more books right next door , someone must be buying them

Grant I happen to hate the feeling of books, just touching the pages does funny things to me.. odd but true, so the Kindle is much nicer to use for me, I also have a few audible books that I've yet to listen to :)

Is it possible to follow an audio book whilst driving?:scratch:
