[Muscle Car Lover]

I stopped watching TV about 5 years ago, around when HBO's "Rome" series ended. Just could not find anything that was worth while to watch. I still watch movies (usually Comcast On-Demand) and of course sports! HUGE NFL fan and big NASCAR guy. Some hockey during playoffs.

I have always been a voracious reader. Since I stopped TV I read a book a week. Sometimes two, depending on length.

So any other readers here? Favorite books? What are you reading now?

A few passages, you can Google them I guess to find out where they are from.

-"Hapscomb's Texaco sat on Number 93 just north of Arnette, a pissant four-street burg about 110 miles from Houston. Tonight the regulars were there, sitting by the cash register, drinking beer, talking idly, watching the bugs fly into the big lighted sign."

-"They must have a print. Why fingerprint if they didn't have something to match it to? They were checking that van for prints. No time to see if they were checking cars too.
Van. Carrying the wheelchair with Lounds in it-that tipped them. Or maybe somebody in Chicago saw the van. There were a lot of vans at Gateway, private vans, delivery vans.
No, Graham just knew he had a van. Graham knew because he knew. Graham knew. Graham knew. The son of a bitch was a monster."

-"How come you know my name? You aren't supposed to know my name, Buttercup."
"I know lots of things Mathilda. I have gazed through space telescopes into the heart of the galaxy. I have seen a dawn of four hundred billion suns. It all means nothing without life. You and I are special, Mathilda. We are alive."
