Yes it's quite handy, but the exploded diagrams / parts catalogue is also handy, as are internet forums as it means I can work out what I might need to do when I don't have my car to hand.


That's an insight into my life for you :lol: :oops:

Also trying to make my way through "Successful Professional Review for Civil Engineers" - but I keep losing the will to live and last time I tried to, I read joining the dots instead :mrgreen:

Really enjoyed both Orwell's down and out in Paris and London and also the road to Wigan pier, both really capture a sense of the time and societies they were written about but not sure which I'd say was my favourite.

I actually don't even know the name of what I'm reading!

It's on my kindle, I download a whole load of stuff that looks interesting, often swayed by things that are on offer (but I use the reviews to help me identify what I'll like)

Then make my way through my 'library' of unread books.

The upside is I always have something to read, the downside is that I don't know the name as I just turn it on and carry on (rather than hold the actual book in my hand)

That's quite sad isn't it. But it's a lot lighter and a lot easier, generally only read it if I'm on the tube, which isn't very much

I can also put singletrack mags on it which is handy

"A man called Ove"

A nice book which evoked a bittersweet range of emotions.
