Just finished "Give Me a Break" by John Stossel......finally found someone that agrees with me on a whole range of subjects.....would be interested in what your thoughts are once you read it.........

I'll pick it up today - I love that series. [Big Grin]

Here's another great book for us gearheads - more FB though - "Corvette Fuel Injection and electronic engine management" by Charles O Probst. Got it from Amazon - excellent sections on PCM, Fuel injection and all of the engine management components.

Who has time to read? I love to read, and
like to in the evenings. By the time I settle
in with the book, I read a few pages, then
fall asleep!

I guess it's different for Scott and others who
are on the road alot, it will fill time away
from home.

Thanks for the tip!

I heard a radio interview with Stossel while he was promoting the book. I like his style.

welll.....when you spend most of October-April in a Northwest Airlines Jet at 33,000 feet...or a Marriott Hotel..........gives you something to do!

I read a good part of that in the book store - I've been meaning to pick it up so that I can finish it. He has some very good insights into the effects government regulation is having on our lives.

I got the book at BJ's (I wonder if that's when they scammed my credit card number?) and have read about 80% of it so far. Damn, that man has some good points about our government and how the over-regulation screws us.

John Stossel is one of the few reporters I like. Might have to pick up a copy.

Recently invited to a luncheon to hear him discuss the book but was unwilling to take the time off.

Love his ABC Specials and the fits they must send ABC into.
