    Default The last book you read, or what are you reading now?

    Just a thought, on a rainy afternoon stuck here at work.

    What is the last book you read, and/or what are you flipping through now?

    The last book I read to completion was Herman Wouk's "Don't Stop The Carnival". A fantastic tale of a frazzled New York publicist looking for a way out of the rat race, the Caribbean resort he buys, and the troubles that ensue.

    Right now, I am reading Jimmy Buffet's newest, "A Salty Piece Of Land" about a cowboy and his horse looking to escape to an Island Paradise.
    So you want to buy a sportbike as your first bike and have questions?

    I read constantly. Right now I'm rereading A Confederacy of Dunces, by John Kennedy Toole. A very funny book. I usually have several books going at once--fiction, nonfiction (I like history a lot), etc.
    In memory of my friend Deron Harden. Life isn't going to be the same without him.

    I'm working on Dreamcatcher by Stephen king. I think that this was also the last book I read...very cool, VERY involving book. The movie ****ed me off.

    The book I read prior to that (or collection of books) was my hardback signed copy of The Dragon Riders of Pern...also a very good book/s.

    Cool

    Just finished Proficient Motorcycling, and I'm reading More Proficient Motorcycling. I also read about two or three magazines at any time. The last book I read before the motorcycle studies was Bias, by Bernard Goldberg.

    I have several books in line to read in the future, but Curious George at the EasyRiders ride-in isn't one of them.

    Forest, did the "7 Habits" book keep your attention? I have often thought about buying that one, but haven't.
