Automobile, Auto Restorer, Auto Week, Automotive News,
Car and Driver, Car Craft, Chevy High Performance,
European Car, Hot Rod, Hot Rodding, Hot VWs,
Motor Trend, News Week, Road & Track, Rod & Custom
Scale Auto I take them into work after I'm done reading them. _________________ Good Luck

Ted Simon has done numerous books about long distance motorcycle trips... not weeks... years. His first book was at age 40 plus and his last major trip was at 70 plus. Great reads. I am re-reading Jupiter's Travels now.
I also pulled a box down from the attic recently for my oldest son. It had about 20 Choose Your Own Adventure novels in it from my childhood. I checked out some of the early ones when he was done with them and found them to be (still) quite entertaining.
Bert Levy had written a multi-book series based off the Open Road first novel. A young guy up north turns wrenches and like cars and you follow him up from youth to adulthood. I went through the four of five of them this summer. Good reads. _________________ " ... he walked the pavement of the city- a beggar and a king. Has it been otherwise with any man?" WOLFE

Currently reading "Truvine" the true story of two African American brothers who were kidnapped and displayed as circus freaks, and whose mother endured a decades long struggle to find them and get justice for her family. |

A Man Called Ove by Fredrik Backman. It's probably the best book I've read in the past 5 or so years. His book My Grandmother Asked Me to Tell You She’s Sorry is very good too. _________________

Just finished reading Bruce Springsteen's biography "Born To Run"
Really good book. I must say living here on the Jersey shore and reading about place that are long gone is quite interesting. It's also really good to read about his early years and how he put albums together and his struggle to get noticed in the late 60's and early 70's.
My next book will probably be "Bobby Kennedy: The Making of a Liberal Icon" or "The Deadly Brotherhood: The American Combat Solider in World War 2" By John C. McManus.
Funny I didn't enjoy history (especially the world war 2 era) when I was in school. Now I can't get enough of it. _________________ Jim Douglas....I am Not. |
