Books
From my youth anything by Roald Dahl and TinTin.

I like Bill Bryson, his travel books and A Short History of Nearly Everything.

Nowadays I prefer non fiction, Freakanomics, bad science and I am currently reading Outliers.

Next on the list is Ray Mears Bushcraft.

Outliers
Has some interesting interviews, but is 90% horseshit, written by an idiot.

About two years ago I bought the complete hardback collection of Tintin books
to replace the ones I had given away to charity when I was a kid having scrimped and saved to buy them one at a time (in between doing the same for Star Wars figures). They are still exceptionally entertaining, my kids agree.

Tintin
is easily my favourite author.

Have you tried the ones Asterix wrote
(in the original Gallic patois of course)?

I'm knee deep in a book written by some spikey-haired boy
in a red and black striped jumper.
I'm told his name is Horrid Henry, but that can't be right - he's an actor, I think.

You are me

Bear Pussy
Bogs off to the plush hotel everynight.

I did bushcraft with a bloke called Lawrence Clark who is a nice guy who taught me how to light a fire He also took the misses to A&E after she cut her leg open with the knife you get as part of the course.

Anyway he worked with Bear Grylls on the Scotland program Lawrence arrived with everything he needs to spend a week outside in Febuary (a knife and a cooking pot) Mr Grllys lived in a hotel and only popped out of the luxury spa for a spot of filming
