Pretty much comic books. Dennis the Menace had the most impact/commonality to me.

My favorite (and maybe my first) childhood book may help to explain why I first bracket raced a tiny 273 instead of a larger displacement small block:

The Auto Trader "Old Car Book"

Two books that I thought had a profound impact on the way I view things were the "I Hate Cats" books 1 & 2. But now that I own a barn that came with a cat, I'm not so sure. The cat seems to be very likable.

Haven't done much more than hot rod magazines for years. But back in the day, I really enjoyed, and found disturbing Orwell's 1984, Kafka's The trial, Helter Skelter, and almost any H.P. Lovecraft. Lord of the rings trilogy.

Just finished reading "Failure is not an option " by Gene Krantz. If you like the space program it's an interesting read.

"Whistling Death". Written by the gentleman who was the main test pilot for the Corsair.

"The year of the jeep ". Read that many years ago .

Mad and Cracked magazine. I will forever be a smartass.

Mad affected me and has been a part of my life for 56 years.

Have had a few “beverages “ and thinking about books. My part-time job years ago was assembling bookmobiles, bloodmobiles, police command posts. Delivered a bookmobile to Lisbon, Oh.; quaint old town in east central Ohio. Walked in to their old library and the smell just hit me, gotta love the old musty smell of old paper! The ‘old’ readers will appreciate.

“Homecoming” by John Bradshaw. This deals with getting your inner self (or child) to work with you instead of against you. If you sit down and go thru the worksheets it can be quite an experience.

Finally read “Atlas Shrugged”, it was good and I usually don’t read fiction.

Of all the books I have read, there is no common theme. Everything from western to science fiction. But the book that stands out is God Is My Co-Pilot.

I am extremely sorry to have missed this one from 5 yrs ago. 'Code of Conduct' by Brad Thor. It sounds like a current time thread for virus & govt conduct. This going to public library is crazy anymore, touch a book to look at copyright date; can't put it back on shelf for someone else (like ghostrider67) that I know LOVES reading!

They were geared towards young adults. I read them in jr high.

Pretty sure they are all out of print now.
