To be honest, I don’t spend a lot of time reading. Maybe I don’t have the time, maybe I just don’t try to find the time. The best I do is find time for train magazines. Give me a hammock in the shade, a good hat with Visor and a train magazine, and I’m happy. This is my current Summer reading kit. What are you reading this Summer? ![2BA0B484-B887-4C45-95A9-884BF9C08E47.jpeg](//storage.forums.net/7085221/thumbnailer/hevwHhyUe0CdplKoGcid.png) Emile

My tastes are similar to yours Emile. Various train magazines while relaxing on the deck. When I was younger I read anything and everything voraciously. Throughout my career volumes of paperwork. Much simpler now!

I love to read as well. I don’t get enough time to read for pleasure unfortunately. I read mostly for work. I do get and read CTT, but that’s the only train magazine I get. I tend to rotate between books that I am reading. Here are the three books on my reading table that I am slowly working through. ![8CAE010D-D042-4F6D-B3E5-E0381B0C5F37.jpeg](//storage.forums.net/7085221/thumbnailer/clUpAGEucLmNExIEbQmB.png) ![083DEE88-03D8-423F-843D-E3AAC5509240.jpeg](//storage.forums.net/7085221/thumbnailer/DlBqslxCmtuHSw0uzrCD.png) ![CC80D398-EAFF-415F-836F-4F274B4B7EB8.jpeg](//storage.forums.net/7085221/thumbnailer/qzWtFQmbPCFozilcmcKp.png)

Now that's a good formula for a warm summer day, Emile.
Don't miss the September issue of CTT that has the feature article of a layout created by my good friend Stan from the Chicago area. His layout is very impressive.

How about a Bombay and tonic to accompany all these things. Or even two for the entire magazine.
Oops, with a slice of lime.

I enjoy reading, especially for an hour or so at night before going to bed. I am currently reading "The Killer Angels," a very good historical novel about the battle of Gettysburg. I enjoy both fiction and non fiction. I recently finished "Killing the SS."
Magazines I read are CTT, The Train Collector's Quarterly, and America's 1st Freedom, an NRA magazine.

Seems as if I'm not playing with my trains, its reading, (me and wife aren't that much TV watchers) or playing Board Games. At present reading "13 Days to Glory". Magazines are CTT, Military History, True West, American Rifleman, and Guns of the Old West. My wife reads anything and everything James Patterson writes and JD Robb's series. I quit reading Technical magazine's I was receiving from BP, Chemical, Oil magazines.

Good topic. The latest issue of CTT was very good, just read it. CTT keeps getting better and better Read it in about 90 minutes, the other one in about 10. I love Lou Palumbo's column, “Views from the Underground.” Lou is a great ambassador for the hobby. If you never have met him stop by his stall at York, have a seat and talk trains. You won’t be disappointed. ...keep searching.
