Re: Greetings!

Welcome Minx!
I am not sure what you mean when you say challenging. I have read quite a few that I never bothered to finish, but to me that means they are boring.
There was one book that I just couldn't stop reading about 30 years ago. It was a true story of a young woman who agreed to marry a stranger & live with him on a desert island for a year. It was such an adventure with many things that made you worry for both of them.
The young woman wrote the book herself & it was
" Castaway" by Lucy Irvine. She wrote a few others about her different adventures ( which were good) and I understand that she now lives a reclusive life in Bulgaria.
If I read the book again now, I am sure I would still feel as worried for her, as I did when I first read it... even though I know she survived!

This book sounds interesting. I will add it to my list thank you.
When I said ‘challenging’, I meant in the sense that it forced you to rethink life and your beliefs.

Well if you get to read Lucy Irvine's books, I can promise you that I would never want to do what she had!

Re: Greetings!

I wonder what type of book you refer to? would it be a technical book with lots of technical jargen- a reference book on a particular subject or possibly a fiction/nonfiction book

To most I would think it was a DIY flat pack assembly furniture kit
