You can probably add a few sports illustrated magazine articles to your reading list along with other magazines.

Someone should set up an az library, and we could check out either "e- copies", or real books (provided a full price deposit, for rare books), then we could all share the wealth!!.... (yeah I know.. In a perfect world right)....:D
 
twol others

The One Pocket Man a novel, but good one picket insight.

The Green Felt Jungle, true stories by that Tow boat captain from New Orleans.

I got the Lions and the Lambs from the author, he had a box in the back of the closet for thirty years or so. . .
