    I read stupid posts like yours. 

    I dont read much.
    I am currently reading Maximum Boost by Corky Bell and besides that, I only really read the bible/scriptures.

    I did read Richard Hammond's book and it was the first book I have read to completion since Goosebumps.

        Maximum Boost is excellent.  Simple enough to appeal to the novice auto enthusiast, technical enough to keep a well educated enthusiast interested.

          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.

                The Road sounds very interesting, I'll have to search for a kindle version...

                  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!

                    Fiction or Non-fiction? I may give that one a shot

                      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.
