[QUOTE="NHDRVR, post: 544474, member: 10327"] Gotta pretty good collection of books in the garage. Wife's a teacher and we both keep books since most aren't cheap and I have kept about 95% of them since college. Anyways...For fiction I have been through all of the phases. Stephen King in the 80's. Tom Clancy in the 90's. And I have been reading a ton of mystery pulp fiction lately. My current favorite is everything by Harlan Coben. Please check out his stuff. Awesome twists. Sports stuff is anything and everything. I just finished Joe Torre's "The Yankee Year's" because I am a huge Red Sox fan and I wanted to know what made that team tick. (Steroids apparently) Rick Reilly, Leigh Monteville (sp?), and any and all football books. A GREAT book is "The Final Season" by Parcells/McDonough. A look inside a Jet's season and what coaches have to do to survive. I have been through a bunch of history texts over the past year and a half. "The Americanization of Benjamin Franklin" and "Bearing the Cross" (MLK jr.) Both are incredibly detailed and not for the faint of heart in their length. Lastly, my inner-nerd is always showing since I am into my 4th of 5th copy of the "Lord of the Rings". Once I finish it I simply begin again. I am always reading that book. I found a great copy on Amazon that is the entire novel in one hard cover edition. 50 bucks, I think. [/QUOTE]
