    Keith, I will not be surprised if most racers seem to like the same books.
It's a 14 hr. drive from big ditch to Bonneville. So we get 2 books on tape. 1
for each way. We share with the rest of the crew that go in the rent-a-wreck.

1. Just finished Ken Follet's Code to Zero. Very good book.
2. For a series I liked anything by  W.E.B. Griffith.
3. Stephen Coonts.... America
4. Patrick A. Davis.... The General
5. Tom Clancy...............(all of em)
