Curious as to what books others are enjoying at the moment or recently?

On day 3 my PH Kian Burchell spotted horns sticking up from a patch of brush in on top of a flat mountain top. How he spotted these in the moving grass I will never know. We stalk within 80 yards and the Gemsbok is napping with his...
