Alright, I dont think this has been done, and im sure some of you guys have some good light and heavy reading car books out there that you love reading over and over.. What is your favorate car book? No the history of Porsche doesnt count, No it cant have pictures in it, The secret to solo racing is not what I mean. I'll put mine down.
The Car (ironic..) By Gary Paulsen Bout a kid who's parents separate, and his dad hates him, but his dad got a kit car as part of a trade but never built it. so the kid builds this car and then goes out to explore the country, pretty cool book. What about you??? Andrew |

QUOTE(maf914 @ Jan 22 2004, 06:02 AM) Last year I tried once again to read "Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance" which I have had for years. 2/3rds of the way through I quit. I rarely do not finish a book, but I just couldn't continue. I know a lot of people like it, but I guess it's not for me. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) I did leave a book marker at my stopping point, so maybe I'll try again. Same here. About 2/3 through and lost interest. The story starts to be less and less about a motorcycle trip and more and more psycho-babble. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) Anybody read "The Last Open Road" by B.S. Levy? It's supposed to be the ultimate story about roadracing in the sixties. The author shows up at alot of road courses touting and signing the book. I got about 100 pages in and it didn't grab me. A friend once told me,"Don't waste your time finishing books that aren't really great. There are too many really great ones out there." I believe this to be great advise. Nelson Demille doesn't write "car" books, but all his books are awesome. I usually end up losing alot of sleep when I'm in the middle of one of his books. Read "The Lions' Game" by him. You'll get hooked for life. His books are like crack cocaine. Once you read one, you'll need to read the rest. |
