 So, when Bernie was dealing 2nd hand cars he never took any low-mileage ones as there was no profit to be made by rolling back the trip-meter |

I'll read anything I can get my hands on... trying to limit my VW reading to simply Hot VWs when it shows up in the mail, because once I start reading that, I'm distracted from anything and everything else. Heh.
Just finished a Don Robertson (?? I think that's right) novel called The Greatest Thing that Almost Happened, read a Philip Roth novel before that (Indignation), getting ready to read another Roth book (forgot the title) as well as one of my new favorites, Garrison Keillor. Need to get off my duff and get back into the writing realm, too, rather than obsessing over my POS '70...lol.
All time favorite author is Jean Shepherd. He wrote/narrated "A Christmas Story," about the Red Ryder BB gun that Ralphie wants for Christmas.
I've made piece with the fact it will never be a "nice" car, but I'm getting ready to go through round 2 on the 2017 engine build, thanks to my buddy, John Bates. If it weren't for him, I would be done with the big engine build and throwing a stocker back in.

Boom Boom -- I believe that there are 3 books out there of Dick's short stories -- all are great and still very prophetic
Ken Follett -- Fall of Giants -- very good first of a series of three, second book scheduled for release this year
Was at a yard sale and was just drawn to this -- a complete 9 book set of The World Book .. ... from 1928 .. .. very interesting to see the world from the eyes of someone in 1928 like -- the country of Abyssinia -- was renamed Ethiopia in 1923 -- was only 1 of 2 countries in Africa at that time not owned or controled by European Powers -- I've dubbed this the forgotten knowledge and I'm enjoying relearning it.

http://www.roger-ball.com/Odyssey of a Navy fighter pilot. All profits go to the Navy SEAL Foundation. That works out to about $12/copy. "Hawk" was the lead pilot in developing the F-14 and later CO and XO of TOPGUN at Fighter town USA Miramar San Diego. Still a great guy, long ago I worked with Hawk in the USS Ranger CATCC.

Just finished "Locked On" by Tom Clancy and am currently reading "Nov. 22, 1963" by Stephen King. I relish my evenings these days reading on my front porch and drinking a cold Coke versus cursing creative new strands of profanity in my buddy's shop on the car/engine project... the latter came to a standstill recently with a pinched thrust bearing and squashed dowel pin.

Good books, aren't they! I've just finished "a dance with dragons" book 1, which I think is the sixth in the series. I'm reading "American tabloid" by James Ellroy at the moment, a fictionalized version of the mafia, FBI and CIA interaction around the time of JFK's campaign and election. It's very good, and I've got the next two in the trilogy to read too! |

Coming up to Christmas we're bound to get books for presents. I've finished the Game of Thrones series, as far as they're written anyway. Ive not had much time for reading recently, but I did manage No Angel, the Jay Dobins story of how an ATF agent infiltrated the Hells Angels and Stephen King's From a Buick Eight. Also read Anno Dracula by Kim Newman, a bit of a mash-up of Dracula and Jack the Ripper which was good fun!
