Throwing stuff out leads to new stuff getting bought

I have managed to shift a few of the books that I have offered, however more have come in to replace them. Why must Amazon be easy to buy from?

Three books arrived today with one still to come. I got Bushcraft by Mors Kochanski and the Collins Gem SAS Survival Guide as well as the 9th Trinity Blood manga. Bushcraft and the SAS book are packed with good info for out in the bush and should I need to abandon civilization, these books will be packed, no question about it.

While trawling Amazon for books of somewhat questionable nature, I found this list that someone has compiled containing explosives, chemistry, anarchy and weapons related books. I would have thought the Nanny State UK government would have banned these.

Now, if you will excuse me, some nice men in uniform are here to speak to me.

Books

I finished reading Carl Sagan’s “The Demon Haunted World: Science as a Candle in the Dark” a few days ago. It was a pretty good book, will need to re-read it. As I have finished all the books in my possession and have no real desire to re-read any, I’m looking for some more to read. Cyberpunk, geeky, non-fiction and survivalist books are what I’m mainly after but I’ll look for anything that sounds good (stuff like Harry Potter and other mainstream crap is not good). Needs to be available in hard copy so I can take them to work, not going to read ebooks on my phone.

So, what do you suggest?
