A whole lot of nature books, some history, mainly on Southeast Asia and the occasional work of fiction, preferably containing elements of the former topics.

Art from my book!

Excerpt from my book "The Exodus". books2read.com/b/The-Exodus

"With hardly a glance at its surroundings, the cat moved determinedly towards the dead animal carcass, picked it up in its jaws and with a graceful bound leaped back into the jungle from whence it came, vanishing like an apparition."
