The last few weeks has seen me devouring a number of novels to kill the monotony of being in hospital still. Latest estimates are mid January for going home ,when I hope to be able to swallow some soft foods. Books read include:
"Oranges are not the only fruit" by Janice Winterton
"Night Fire" by Ken Follett
"Eye of the Needle "
"The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo " by Stieg Larsson
At the moment it takes about 3 days for a 560 page book. I am REALLY looking forward to going home when the ham radio blogging can resume.
Interestingly, I have read very few amateur radio books apart from 1 QST and a few RadComs and PWs. So far I have had visits from around 45 people including a few local hams. My brother has raised over £1000 for the charity "Headway" as a result of my bleed on the brain.
Simple QRP projects, 10m, 8m, 6m, 4m, FT8, 160m, WSPR, LF/MF, sub-9kHz, nanowaves and other random stuff, some not related to amateur radio.
Buy me (a virtual) cup of coffee
This is NOT at all compulsory, but this would help offset some project costs.

Great to hear your doing so well Roger!
M3HXE
you can do it Roger!
Sometimes brain injury diminishes motivation. That makes it extra tough. Be determined!
I just discovered your website and love it. Thanks so much.

I could never get into novels as a kid or story books some would call them, I would rush to the end to find out the outcome. Even today I can't read novels the nearest being would be someones Autobiography of which I will only pick out bits of interest. Now electronic books or magazines, I can read from cover to cover, but starting in reverse from the back cover to the front, prehaps its all because I am left handed?
Now Roger you have been REALLY missed on this blog, I and I guess a few others are really looking forward to your continuation for a long time to come!
Oh and I do read the Blog the correct way around? :-)

This one's a nice read. I just finished it. Free download in .txt, .pdf, .epub. etc. So it should work with your phone, tablet, or Ereader (get a Kindle Paperwhite).
The Sea Rovers (1906), Wilson, Rufus Rockwell, 1865-1949

It is a historical account in a lively story-telling style of the lives of seamen of various persuasions at the turn of the century.
Best Wishes,
