DFWMUstangs Book/Reading list

Figured I'd bring this back up. Started FINALLY reading Primary Colors by Anonymous, and it has really sucked me in. Don't know why I like reading about politics when I hate them so much, but damn if this isn't a great book so far. Provides sort of an interesting counter perspective to Fear and Loathing on the Campaign Trail '72. lol

America: The Last Best Hope (1 and 2) by Bill Bennett

1776 by David McCullough

The last 3 books I have read are World War Z, Day By Day Armagedoon and Day By Day Armagedoon Beyound Exile. If you are in to zombie books all 3 are great reads. And I just ordered When All Hell Breaks Loose: Stuff You Need To Survive When Disaster Strikes By Cody Lundin

I read Love and Death: the Murder of Kurt Cobain back in college for a speech class and am completely convinced Courtney Love hired a hitman. Good read if you are a Nirvana fan.

I read 99.9% non-fiction including many automotive, how-to, or history/political books. I found some of my library receipts:

Keep the change: a clueless tipper's quest to become the guru of the gratuity by Steve Dublanica

How to make bookshelves & bookcases: 19 outstanding storage projects

The war for late night: when Leno went early and television went crazy by Bill Carter Interesting read

Constructing kitchen cabinets

Chrysler's Turbine car: the rise and fall of Detroit's coolest creation by Steve Lehto Cool automotive history

The Eagles: an American band by Andrew Vaughan

Teardowns: learn how electronics work by taking them apart by Bryan Bergeron

They call me Baba Booey by Gary Dell'Abate

Rock Connections: the complete road map of rock'n'roll by Bruno MacDonald
Cool to see how bands are connected by members, events, etc

How things really work: lessons from a life in politics by Bill Hobby

Let's Ride: Sonny Barger's guide to motorcycling by Sonny Barger Great book for beginning riders and interesting for experienced riders.

Dear Mrs. Fitzsimmons: tales of redemption from an Irish mailbox by Greg Fitzsimmons Funny stuff.

I'm Not High: (But I've Got a Lot of Crazy Stories about Life as a Goat Boy, a Dad, and a Spiritual Warrior) by Jim Breuer Great read about Breuer's life.

I picked one up at the airport a couple of weeks ago and read it on my trip. It wasn't too bad. I'm not a big reader, but enjoyed it.

DELIVER US FROM EVIL, by David Baldacci

[A+]

i just finished The Catcher in The Rye.......just thought id throw it out there. took me like 44 years but i did it. It was kinda like the movie Shutter Island for me. i really didnt know what the hell i was reading and when i finally finished, it came to me.

I don't disagree, Brent, but top 2 is pretty far fetched. I wasn't much of a Bush fan while he was in office, but I'll probably be buying that book at some point.

I'm sure it's not news, but many of the older books mentioned here can be found on Amazon for less than $1.
