Just finished Absolution Gap by Alastair Reynolds, so have now picked up a #book I've been eager to read for a while. I have a feeling that I'll be wanting a big #bikepacking adventure when I'm finished. #cycling@bookstodon
Finished reading 'Full Tilt' this morning and immediately bought
both 'Tibetan Foothold' and 'The Waiting Land'. I thoroughly enjoyed reading Full Tilt, although I do think the usage of the n-word and some of other casual racism could've been edited out in this printing; having said that I get the feeling the Murphy wouldn't have tolerated such changes. @bookstodon#book#books#cycling
It reminded me in some ways of the Himalayan mountaineering books I read as a teenager; Bonington, Scott, Messner, et al. It also reminded me that I used to dream of travelling to Afghanistan, Pakistan, Nepal and Tibet and wandering through, and up, the mountains. @bookstodon#book#books
Just like the Rough Stuff Fellowship, it's amazing where you can take a #bicycle. It makes a mockery of all the kit we take for a weekend #bikepacking locally, let alone cycling across continents. @bookstodon#book#books#cycling
