Ever since the emergence of the internet, the culture of reading books and i mean old fashioned books has greatly reduced. I find it difficult to read a book on a smartphone,tablet or a laptop despite having downloaded many in pdf format. When I was in Nanyuki i would spend lots of time reading books that i signed from the library both at the camp and the kenya national library service found in town. Having come to Nairobi i must admit i have been swallowed by the busy town life. I feel the urge to re kindle the once awesome hobby of reading i once hard. What books would the readers here recommend? My all time favourites are 48laws of power and art of war.
