A belated #bookreport from #hiselderliness

He enjoyed Birdmen, the story of the Wright Brothers, although he said “it‘s a bit complicated for my poor old brain” with lots of characters to remember. “They never proved who was the first in it, either”
Nearly finished The Wild Trees which he seems to be loving as he spent some time explaining to me how they slingshot a thin line up into the trees so they can get their rope up. ⬇️

He has already given us conniptions by nearly tipping it over going down the steep hill he lives on 😱 5y
