Ryan... Posted December 30, 2013 Report Share Posted December 30, 2013 I guess a more important question would have been, can, or do any of you read? For, like, enjoyment? I heard Snap try to read once and suffice to say it looked very painful for him, poor guy 2013 was a good year for me, my job allows (aka requires) me to spend a lot of time reading to fill time during work hours. While I sit in my stationary car for hours on end, I can either browse my tiny phone, or read. This year I finished reading the Game Of Thrones books, the Dark Tower series (awesome), and I will finish the Repairman Jack novels by the end of January. With a few others scattered in, I've read approximately 25-27 books this year, easily a personal record. So what you done read then, huh?

B C Posted December 30, 2013 Report Share Posted December 30, 2013 Maximum Boost is excellent. Simple enough to appeal to the novice auto enthusiast, technical enough to keep a well educated enthusiast interested. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrLeadFoot Posted December 30, 2013 Report Share Posted December 30, 2013 I recently read Cormac McCarthy's "The Road" I couldn't put it down. Life after a nuclear war. Cannibalism. Uber dark but great. I'm now in the middle of "Blood Meridian" but haven't picked that up in a little bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm now in the middle of "Blood Meridian" but haven't picked that up in a little bit. The Road sounds very interesting, I'll have to search for a kindle version...

patsbimmer1 Posted December 30, 2013 Report Share Posted December 30, 2013 One of my all time favorites is The Art of Racing in the Rain by Garth Stein. It's a great story told through the eyes of a dog about his owner who is an aspiring racer and falls on hard times. The story telling is compelling enough to keep non-auto people interested but has enough car speak in it to satisfy us gear heads. Another favorite is On the Road by Jack Kerouac and if you haven't read this one yet you definitely need to! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I may give that one a shot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patsbimmer1 Posted December 30, 2013 Report Share Posted December 30, 2013 It's fiction. I am not a frequent reader but this really sucked me in. I was also able to get my wife to read it and she really enjoyed it as well. There are little gems in the story that you will appreciate such as the main character works as a service advisor in a BMW garage and his dog's name is Enzo.
