Disclaimer and all that

This is simply a list of books that I have read. If there is a great book out there and its not here, it does not mean thats this is a bad book, or alternatively that I did not like it, all that means is that I have not read it. I cant read every book out there, but here are a few. I hope that the following list is of use to some people. Generally I like non fiction books. I think my favourite type of book is something that delves into a subject I know little about, and completely explains the subject and is jam packed with information. On reading the book, I hence go from being relatively ignorant about a subject, to feeling that I am very well informed. Another reason for this webpage is that I have read thousands of books, and trying to remember the name of a book I really like can be hard years later. Having them online allows me to go back, and I have the option of re-reading the book if i so choose.

You will notice many boatbuilding books listed. I cant really say which one is better than another, however I have found that reading many many books on the subject, has given me a good understanding

Note books are listed in order of randomness via alphabetical order, so says the founding member of the Melbourne non runners club. Please note that most of the following books are available at amazon.com, thus you have a chance to read the reviews and make up your own mind
